Speaking from recent experience, the hardest part about writing a book is getting into a good flow or finding your rhythm as some call it. Usually what happens is you start with some idea for what the book will be, maybe a title or a thesis and after about 10 different versions of the opening chapter you finally get to a place where you feel comfortable moving on to chapter two. Over the last six weeks, after having already put eight months into the book, I can finally say that I got into my rhythm…writing something like 30 chapters in the last 45 days. That said, I’m now comfortable sharing at least one of those intro chapters that I wrote back when I started out.
If you were to pick up Indisputable: A Fan’s Guide to the Live Music Capital, you may not read this exact introduction, but I imagine it’ll be something close even after the editor chops it up.
This City of
Austin resolution says clearly that Austin is “the Live Music Capital of the
World.”
There are
quite a few points to back up Austin’s claim. It has not one, but two major music
festivals in Austin City Limits and South by Southwest. A third festival, Fun,
Fun, Fun Fest, has quickly emerged as an up-and-comer in indie crowds.

Fantastic! Wraps up/communicates perfectly while also laying ground for the rest of the book. Super strong start and excited to read the rest!
