If you want to go really old school check out WordGrinder.
Most of my writing starts out in Jstar (also a black screen) but I don't like long lines so I've set up my up my terminal (Guake) to full vertical height but horizontally centered. I've also set several scripts to open files in the right directory and add (or read) the correct extensions. It's quick and easy. Ctrl+l opens up Guake, "jt filename" opens up a file with the .txt extension in my main document directory. It's fast and the shell script is very simple and no mouse needed...

#!/bin/bash
clear
cd ~/Documents/scripts
jstar $1.txt

A little video linked to demonstrate this...
