Fullscreen text editor behavior

[theongoingrealityshow]

I've been trying to get emacs to mimic the popular fullscreen text
editors like writeroom/darkroom etc. I found this

but it does not work well with longlines.el and it inserts hard line
breaks otherwise, can anyone recommend a way to get a 60 character
column of text down the center of my screen?

I coul djust use jdarkroom..but I'd like to see if I can do it in
emacs.
