The Industry
Posted 5 months agoAbout a month ago I read a tweet from Drew Wilson looking for people who love to write about design.
“That would be me”, I thought, and I responded back with an email stating how much I like writing. I even included a link to my hiatus post just to prove otherwise.
I wasn’t expecting him to reply back, as I’ve done things like this before with others, and still, up until today, I haven’t received any replies from them. But, this time was different; Drew actually replied back, complete with what seemed like an extraodinary vision of a design-centric blog, in which he calls: “The Industry”.
I responded back with a few positive comments, and a suggestion stating, “I’d love to write for The Industry”. Jared, a writer of whom I’ve heard about somewhere on Twitter, then asked me how interested I am in writing for The Industry.
I was really excited. I’ve always wanted to write for a news website, and the fact that it was gravitating towards realism, was giving me an intense mood of enthusiasm. Right after my reply, we exchanged a number of various emails, which took place within the weeks thereafter.
Fast forward to today, The Industry stands now as a design-centric news website, with me included as one of the exclusive writers for the site.
I can’t tell how overjoyed I am to have experienced such a wonderous series of events, and to be a contributing part of The Industry’s team.
So, what does this mean now? Does this mean I’ll be writing full-time over there, leaving my blog to rot until the end of time? No. I certainly hope I won’t do so. But from time to time, I may not be able to tend to my personal blog, as complications may arise (like an overdue article for example) or I simply may be tweaking things around, creating the next iteration of my site’s overall design.
I’d like to personally thank both Jared and Drew, for giving me a chance to take part in such a radical experience.
If you haven’t read my articles yet, or at least haven’t taken a peek at The Industry, I suggest you go and have a look.
