Then there was the time that the Mozarts were visiting a count and discovered that they had been expected to bring a piece by the young Wolfie as a house gift. He wrote it right there in the mud room and he didn't even have the luxury of rolls of teletype paper.

As Truman Capote said, "that's not writing. That's typing." Ooops, wrong writer there kiddo! Capote said that about Jacqueline Sussann's book "Valley of the Dolls" which then went on to top the N.Y.Times best seller list for months. Some typing!
Stet : You have incorrected me.
I remember being told this by my academic mentor when I was writing my undergraduate dissertation on the Beat Generation.
And now a Google search using the keywords "Capote" ; "writing" and "typing" proves that she was right.
It is mentioned here, in the New York Times.

The original On The Road teletype manuscript can be seen here, if anyone is interested.
