Write Away

I use my nearly 5-year-old Toshiba laptop with keys that have the letters practically scratched off from overuse. I also use Q10. It's fullscreen and highly customizable. I have it set to a black background with light blue text because I've found that that's easiest on my eyes (I'm incredibly sensitive to light) and I use a font called Constantia because I like how it looks. I also have it set to show the word count at all times because, perhaps counterintuitively, I don't worry about it so much when it's always there and just part of the background.
