Hello, I'm Kris

The Take Over, The Break’s Over

Since Scribbal came to an end a few weeks ago, I’ve not been writing as much as I had been. I’ve been doing bits and pieces, but after pumping out 8-10 pieces on a daily basis, I’ve kind of taken a break from writing thousands of words per day.

The break actually came at an opportune time: I just moved into a new apartment and I’ve been able to devote lots of time to organising and fixing up the place. Now, I’m absolutely ready to delve back in to writing lots and lots of quality pieces on technology, startups, the Web, film, TV, pop culture and all kinds of other topics.

I want to write for big-name publications and tell the stories that are often left untold, while giving a fresh spin on the ones that may already be known. 

There’s a ton of knowledge and skill I can bring to the table. I’m fast, I’m accurate with my facts and I can spel reel gud. I know a ton about technology, gadgets, startups, the Web, entertainment and a bunch of other topics. 

That’s why I’m setting my sights on getting work at publications I love, and I’d love to see my byline on. I have the skills. I just want to be given a chance. There are a few seeds that have been sown in that respect, and I’m hoping they’ll bear fruit very soon.

I love writing. I like to think I’m pretty good at it. I’ve grown a lot as a writer over the last year. I’ve learned to write quickly and get my thoughts on the screen without much hesitation, but still tell manage to tell stories rather than having disjointed sentences that don’t flow well. I can add context appropriately and know what tone to write in depending on the subject. We’ve come a long way, baby.

Honestly, I love doing what I do, and want to keep doing it for as long as possible. I hope I can do that with publications I’d be proud to have my name attached to.

P.S. Apologies for quoting Fall Out Boy in my title. It seemed appropriate, somehow.
