Some of Jack Kerouac’s “essentials” for his spontaneous prose method:
Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for your own joy
Try never get drunk outside your own house
Be in love with your life
Something that you feel will find its own form
Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
No time for poetry but exactly what is
Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
Accept loss forever
Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
Composing wild, undisciplined, pure, coming in from under,
crazier the better
