I've made a configuration for emacs inspired by writeroom/darkroom. The benefit of that over using Tkinter is that you get all the editing power of emacs for free. It's a bit rough around the edges but it gets the job done.
Thanks for the link, definitely looks like an interesting alternative.
Speaking for myself, I've found that it's easier for me to "write through to the end" with a simpler editor, which does wonders for certain kinds of writing. Guess that using emacs automatically switches me into "programming mode", which, for me, is very much a non-linear process (and using Word or OpenOffice switches me into a dreadful "corporate mode").
