Sometimes we need to hit the road to spark creativity and find the necessary inspiration. And in doing so perhaps we can take a moment to listen and contemplate one of the best sentences ever written.

What to write about?

The question can often perplex us when we're staring at the computer screen or a blank page.

But the writers who have come before us sometimes hold the answers.

This is from Jack Kerouac,

One of my favorite sentences ever written.

And yes,

It is one long sentence.

Please listen.

The only people for me are the mad ones.

The ones who are mad to live,

Mad to talk,

Mad to be saved,

Desirous of everything at the same time.

The ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,

But burn,

Burn,

Burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

And in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everyone goes,

Aww,

Jack Kerouac from On The Road.
