About the Arbenting Writers
I’m Angie Bowen, one of your Arbenting writers. I’ll go ahead and admit here that words aren’t my strong point, I’ve always leaned more toward the visual side of expression when it comes to the arts, the side where words don’t matter as much. So the writing aspect of Arbenting is something that is fairly new to me, and I must say it’s an area that I am really enjoying so far.
I began my design career years ago learning to build and devise websites. Now that I have a firm handle on both xhtml and css, I plan to move on to explore PHP and Ruby on Rails and see what they have got to offer. So far though, my favorite job here on the site hasn’t been a coding task at all, but in fact it has been creating the freebies for you all. I have even set up a weekly schedule to keep up with just for creating exciting new ones to give away, especially since I enjoy making them as much as I hope you enjoy making use of them.
And I’m Robert Bowen, the other half of the Arbenting writing duo. I’m a Libra, and I enjoy long hikes in the hills, and wait, what website is this for again? Oh, yeah. Um, ignore that last bit there, I would erase it, but I’m a lazy typist. Probably copywriting was the wrong area for me to focus my expertise, with that being the case, but low and behold, my focus is fixed.
After my stint working for an Arts Council and producing all of their copy for promotional materials, newsletters, and press releases, I really grew fond of a more technical aspect to writing. I had never written in a professional arena, and while the freedom of scripts and poems still has it’s appeal, I have enjoyed the more structured format of working in copywriting as well. The design field has always held my interest, and while my talents lay more towards layout and composition, I do occasionally labor through putting some designs together myself. Though, admittedly, I tend toward the pen more often than not.
This journey we’ve begun here with Arbenting has just gotten underway, but we’re excited to take each and every step (though we would like to know for rent purposes, after which step do you start getting paid?). Okay, so we’ve got jokes…well, had, that was pretty much the gambit. Though all that aside, we hope you follow along with our progress, and we can make this trip together. We hear it’s gonna be a long, strange one! So subscribe to our feed, and we’ll keep the meals regular and tasty.
Oh, okay, Angie just explained it’s not that kind of feed, but still I think the point is kind of the same! See you along the way!
