Belief and Technique for Modern Prose
By Jack Kerouac
1. Scribbled secret notebooks and wild typewriter pages, for your own joy.
2. Submissive to everything, open, listening
3. Try never to get drunk outside your own house
4. Be in love with your life.
5. Something that you feel will find its own form
6. Be crazy, dumbsaint of the mind
7. Blow as deep as you want to blow
8. Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
9. The unspeakable visions of the individual
10. No time for poetry but exactly waht is
11. Visionary tics shivering in the chest
12. In tranced fixation dreaming upon the object before you.
13. Remove literacy, grammatical, and syntactical inhibition
14. Like Proust, be an old teahead of time.
15. Telling the true story of the world in interior monologue.
16. The jewel center of interest is the eye within the eye
17. Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
18. Work from pithy middle eye out, swimming in language sea
19. Accept loss forever
20. Believe in the holy contours of life
21. Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
22. Dont think of words when you stop but to see the picture better
23. Keep track of every day the date emblazened in your morning
24. No fear no shame in the dignity of your experience, language, and knowledge
25. Write for the world to read and see your exact pictures
26. Bookmovie is the movie in words, the visual American form.
27. Youre a genius all the time
30. Writer-Director of Earthly movies sponsored and Angeled in Heaven.
