If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.

Is Word sufficient for screenwriting
This list is missing a some applications. Movie Magic Screenwriter fits in the Flat fee section. YouMeScript fits in the free (or subscription) section. And although Fountain-Mode for Emacs is not technically an application, it works like one. (The same can be said for several of the Fountain add-ons for various text editors.)
