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.
I'm always here but you don't see me
We often talk, but never much
My thoughts of you are often steamy
But never followed by your touch
I am used to being me
Honestly, I don't know how
Never living in the now
Overthinking, restlessly
I am known for feeling blue
There's not much that I hold dear
Other than your heart so near
All encased in what is you
Gentle fingers, oily neck
Aching muscles there to wreck
Naked backside, music low
I enjoy this and you know
Gentle gestures, tender force
You give everything of course
Once you've finished I'm the one
Rolling over, moving on
It's a world of extremes
Gotta be cunning
There's little about me that makes chances last
I keep chasing my dreams
Why are they running?
What is it about me that makes them go fast?
There's nothing in my empty stare
And something hurts behind my chest
I look for words that aren't there
All I request is meaning
