Programs for writing? Word is crap. What program do you use to write?

If you need some kind of "special program" for writing you are not going to make it. I write in Libre Office, which is literally just an open source copy of Word. You absolutely should not need some fancy, special, "boutique" writing processor. You can bang out your manuscript in something widely available like the rest of the plebs. If you're truly good enough, you won't care.

not him but it's too fucking bright, i don't want to stare into a lightbulb for hours

you can only edit the colors so much, it's janky as fuck to do it and fucks up the document itself instead of just being the overlay, and you can't easily make it fully dark with light text
