I've been using two utilities that have enhanced my writing. One, simple, is TextExpander, which instantly fixes my common typos and which also lets me expand words/phrases I use repeatedly (this is more useful for my programming books than fiction)

The other is ProWritingAid, which I have found very useful both in fiction and in all writing (email, blog posts, etc.)

I highly recommend both.

@jesseliberty I also recommend ProWritingAid. SudoWrite is extremely useful too.
