This is a detailed explanation of why Emacs is my Hotel California of creative writing. It shows how I have created a writing environment exactly how I want it to be, and why there—in my mind—is nothing out there that compares to it.

> “I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor... the engineer-hours that, in the case of Microsoft Word, were devoted to features like mail merge, and the ability to embed feature-length motion pictures in corporate memoranda, were, in the case of emacs, focused with maniacal intensity on the deceptively simple-seeming problem of editing text. If you are a professional writer... emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish.”

I can make Emacs fit my workflow rather than the other way around.
It’s highly recommended to run Emacs without any customization a couple of times to learn how the basic Emacs commands work. We can do that by running Emacs with the `Q` command-line argument, like this: `emacs -Q`. If you want—again, highly recommended—you can run the Emacs Tutorial by running `C-h t`. Do the tutorial until you feel confident. Also, experiment in the Scratch buffer, like in the video tutorial above.

I switched to Doom-Emacs after declaring Emacs Bankruptcy [^fn:1], and I haven’t regretted it. It uses every trick in the book to optimize, and the install/upgrade/maintenance scripts are excellent. It provides infrastructure and a well thought out framework for creating your own, speedy Emacs configuration.

If you feel that you need to have at least a menu-bar, then you can turn it on/off by running this command: `M-x menu-bar-mode`. It can be useful sometimes, especially when learning the Emacs ropes.
