Is George R. R. Martin still writing with StarOffice?
yeah, that's probably the reason there is nothing coming out of it anymore, i guess he killed his machine and never bothered with a backup.
develop a modicum of discipline you man child
This, pen and paper are nice, but spell check is nicer
Linux on a tiling wm, just display what you need and no more. Of course turn off any social network crapbor anything where you have to respond within an hour or even half a day.
This
Or use emacs as your tiling wm, but that has more learning overhead to it (worth it tho)
He's probably a bad example lol
Surprised nobody suggested using a typewriter.
Plan 9
OS does not matter. Pick any word processor or file editor.
Dim your monitor until you can barely see anything and type away as your stream of consciousness fills the void.
Then turn your monitor back up and edit the shit out of it.
Other method is to start with an outline of the complete scope of your document. Start broad, and add more and more bulletpoints. Then put a paragraph underneath every bulletpoint.
If internet is a distraction, unplug your LAN or disable your wifi.
DOS + WordPerfect 5.1
MS-DOS Wordstar.
Might as well if you're going to type monospaced. A hard copy is as good as two or three digital copies.
Plan 9
Linux because nothing entertaining works in it LOL
had an electrical typewriter with LCD back then.
you could type a couple lines on the screen
then you press a button and it would fire the text on the paper.

Woorrrdstarrr
What is a good typewriter to get in this day and age?
kys
Any of the major ones will do.
Linux without a DE, and emacs in org-mode.
DOS or templeOS. The lack of networking should be really helpful
Something that works for you, so that you won't be distracted by fixing it.
Case in point, anything besides Arch.
>DOS
>no network

So TempleOS it will be.
