Oh and incidentally On the road is a fantastic book. I mean it was always one of those classics people rave about but I'd been so utterly disappointed with Trainspotting and A clockwork orange that I never picked on the road up. Because it was in the same pile in my cupboard, in case that makes no sense. Regret! It is awesome. I'm a third of the way in thanks to boring bus journeys and it's one of those pieces you can just read so easily.
Also I found this when I looked him up on good old wiki which, if you are too lazy to click, is a list of thirty essentials for writing like Mr Kerouac.
Favourites:
1. Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy
6. Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
10. No time for poetry but exactly what is
13. Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
and the best:
29. You're a Genius all the time
I've fallen slightly in love.
