I'm writing on an old Tandy WP-3 portable word processor. It's pretty good, no distractions from the internet and such, just write. It has a feature that lets you pop up an appointment calendar and/or a phone contact list. I've constructed my weird lunar calendar in the appointment book so I can add events to it as needed, and I'm using the contact list to keep track of characters. ;p
I find I really like this thing. I got it for $15 off EBay. It has a full sized keyboard and an 8x80 LCD display, runs on 4 AA batteries for something like 20-25 hours continuous use, and only weighs about a pound. For a while I couldn't figure out why the spelling checker thought "organize" was spelled wrong, but it turns out that this one is the Canadian version they marketed. It also expects "colour" and "centre." XD
