BOOKS
Ever since I was little, writing books has been my dream. I started many but finished few. And those few never saw the (publishing) light of day. I usually gave up after around 40 pages and I can barely look at my old work anymore. I might upload something from my teenage years one day, just to give you an idea. Or not.
Then I tried to get a poem collection published for a while. The idea was to combine my writing with pictures from as many different contributors as possible … but that didn’t really work out either. So no books yet. Sorry.
Song adaptations
Translating songs into a different language (in my case either German or English) is quite a challenge. But it is great fun too! Finding the right words and rhymes to make it sound good while still preserving the meaning and feel of the original song – in a way it’s like a puzzle. I like it.
I’ve been interested in this field of work for several years now, and I’ve managed to create a few good translations (or rather adaptations). Here’s a selection:
If you want me to write an adaptation of your own work or your favorite song, feel free to contact me!
Subtitles
Subtitling is an area that I haven’t really found the time to get into yet. I’ve written the official German subtitles for some of Chris Thompson’s (supricky06) videos on YouTube a couple of years ago. I’ve also written several German subtitles for Shane Dawson’s old clips, but he never put them online. Too bad!
Other than that, there’s nothing much I could mention in this section. I think audio description might be a really fascinating field of work. Would be fun to try that someday.
If you want me to write your subtitles, feel free to contact me.
Poems
Over the last decade or so, I’ve posted countless short poems on Facebook and/or Twitter whenever I felt like writing. Poetry is what got me most of my Facebook fans. It’s more or less become my main creative focus for a couple of years. Here is an extensive collection of my favorite poems. Reading through all of them might take a while.
#Elon killed a little bird
He did it all for fun
He promised not to purge one word
But that was soon undone
Elon censors and deletes
And fires those who work
He forces us to see his #tweets
Because he is a jerk.
You're not the lover of my dreams
But you're no nightmare either
Between pure boredom and extremes
I'm gladly choosing neither
You're not the best I've ever had
I, too, have been much better
But all the things you've ever said
I know them to the letter
I'm dried out and tired
From chasing what's gone
Once loved and admired
Now time to move on
I've lost way too many
Without knowing why
It's sad and uncanny
They don't even try
Your legs opened widely
Awaiting my kiss
You kickstart inside me
This feeling of bliss
This feeling I treasure
This hint of a dream
When I deal out pleasure
When I make you scream
You promise me my wildest dreams
Assuming you can be them
But you have never seen my demons
How could you defeat them?
You think I only long for you
To help release some pressure
But who I am and what I dream
Is far beyond your measure
