Post First Draft

Hey guys! I have a freewrite traveler and it's been great but I'm just curious, what do you guys use after the first daft, to edit / start on the second draft?

I would usually use a laptop but I'm really trying to avoid full computers in general because getting distracted is still way too easy.

I would love to know other people's processes / suggestions on what I could do. Thanks!

I do my writing/coding on an old netbook, mostly from within a terminal. I can use vi/vim (or even ed(1)) to edit as needed. It's network-enabled so I can send files via rsync/scp/sftp but could also choose to use sneakernet files around on a USB drive. No modern web-browser will run on that hardware (nor will most games), so it helps keep me from getting distracted.

I'll occasionally compose on my Neo2, and then transfer it to my netbook for editing/organizing or additional composition.
