Known as the miraculous writer who wrote “On the Road,” a Beatnik classic, Kerouac can be rightly said to be the top Beat in history. He supercharged the counterculture movement, which eventually resulted in the hippie movement in the 1960s and his influence continues into the present. I have always enjoyed his writing tips, as they are written in his trademark style: delirious, spontaneous, and free.
When asked by fellow writers how he wrote, Kerouac composed 30 essentials called, “Belief and Technique for Modern Prose.” If they don’t make complete sense to you, that’s Kerouac, man.
- Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy.
- Submissive to everything, open, listening.
- Try never get drunk outside yr own house.
- Be in love with yr life.
- Something that you feel will find its own form.
- Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind.
- Blow as deep as you want to blow.
