Like Proust be an old teahead of time
I think we can safely say that Jack Kerouac may have been intoxicated when he wrote these writing tips. ‘Teahead’ means ‘pothead’ (I had to Google that).
I don’t know if Marcel Proust was really a pothead or if weed makes you a better writer. In my case THC gives me hamster cheeks and terrifying panic attacks.
What I think Jack is trying to say here (besides justifying his use of weed by making an accomplice out of a literary figure) is that you shouldn’t write by the rules.
Do whatever you need to do to get loose.
Kick back, relax, and wax philosophical.
Happy Writing!
