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.
It's one of those nights again
Like every night, really
I can barely feel me
But I'll be alright again
I'm crippled in many ways
I've always been broken
Am I too outspoken?
I'm telling you anyways
You ask me when we'll fuck again
I'm looking at my schedule
I guess you're out of luck again
I'm booked out for a while
Don't want to make you hold the line
I know this friendship's fragile
Give me a break and I'll be fine
I'll make you scream and smile
Don't say it
Please not aloud
For once, you're not allowed
Just save it
Don't end me
Please not tonight
For once, don't start a fight
Defend me
You've eaten me whole
And I've gladly let you
Just dine on my soul
Too scared to upset you
You've drunk me, I'm dry now
With cracks on my shell
So please let me die now
You've feasted so well
This boy, his mind is troubled
He's felt each state there is
The times he's numb have doubled
No nightmare, yet no bliss
This girl, she can't see beauty
And least of all inside
Her smile an act of duty
That some mistake for pride
