Comment on Tell HN: Writing helpsparent

I discovered that environment where you write is important to give the initial kick to start writing. For example plain paper (or moleskine ;) works great but notepad is very bad due to the typography and risk of easily loosing content with bad undo/redo support.

Last month I found a free app for windows, ZenWriter. http://www.beenokle.com/zenwriter.html (I'm not affiliated with them). It's tremendously nice and clean full-screen app with good typography.

As soon as it pops up it gives some nice urge to start writing and makes it tempting not to stop until you have something down that you are happy with. Writing process seems like it induces a pure connection to your inner mind.
