[Scribus] a litle help

[Thyr]

Hi,
I have decompressed scribus-1.0RC1 and now I would use the scribus at
first time, but I have the impression that it is necessary to have a
text already written in txt file.
Is it right?
Or is it possible to write directly on scribus?
Sorry for my basic question.
Have a nice day,
Thyr
