Feel a deep kinship to this man. To get into morning writing, I often listen to this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTlT1p9eNrw

Kerouac's famous passage from Desolation Angels ("it's the beat of the heart, it's being beat and low...") gets spliced with the music, and the rest of the song is majestic.

Going to take my portable Jack out into the world and write some haikus. Cheers, all.

Oh, and another thing. I gave ChatGPT a task: "Write a 250-word short story about Eskimos in the 19th century, in the style of Jack Kerouac". It failed dismally. You really don't want to see what it produced.
