Hi,
I am a writer as well and have just started playing with dictation. The built in dictation in IOS and MacOS has worked fine for me, but Dragon Dictation for IOS is great as well. That being said, I have found that dictating more than quick notes causes more trouble than it's worth because there is absolutely no telling how it will spell character and place names or punctuate things if you don't speak perfectly. I still occasionally dictate into my phone or iPad if I don't have a hand free, but if my Mac is within reach, I prefer to type everything into Scrivener. If you're writing a novel on the Mac, I would highly suggest checking out Scrivener. It's completely accessible and makes it super easy to organize things. I'm pretty sure it's $45 in the Mac app store, but there's a free trial on their website. HTH! :)
