    Well there is the fact that he wrote On The Road on one scroll of paper which he put together so he wouldn't have to waste time changing pages in the typewriter. He didn't want the option to go back over what he wrote to re-write, instead feeling that what first pops into his head would serve the work best.
    Maybe it's obvious and not at all helpful but I thought I'd help get the ball rolling.

    I would suggest getting your hands on some recordings of Kerouac reading from his books.

    Read 'And the hippos were boiled in their tanks'

    This will give you a good insight:)

    maybe the best technique would be to drive across the US taking a load of drugs, and writing down what happens, no?

    Truman Capote once said what Jack Kerouac did wasn't writing it was typewriting :p
