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.

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 wouldn't want you back, of course
You've fucked my trust too bad
You've got your family, your horse
Got all I never had
You're not the woman that you were
And even I've evolved
Though I was so in love with her
This mess, it can't be solved
I know you like handcuffs and whips and plugs
You're really aroused by the kinky
For you toys are mystical, newfound drugs
I know them like I know my pinky
I know you like doing it in the grass
And try every goddamn position
I've done all of that years ago, en masse
These days I prefer intuition
I tried many places when I was young
When I wasn't yet so sure-footed
But now I rely on my bed and tongue
And focus on what I am good at
Always restless, always tired
Needing change, but uninspired
Always hoping, never knowing
Devastated, mostly showing
Always trying, not succeeding
Badly damaged, rarely bleeding
Sometimes greedy, sometimes giving
Always dreaming, rarely living
What to do with myself, with my life, with my hours
How to use my bad health, my lost drive, my maimed powers
How to deal with the days, with the nights, with the twilight
When I'm feeling astray, when most fights are not my fight
We kissed, and now I wonder
If that's what lies ahead
Once distant, we grew fonder
Why do I feel so sad?
I miss the times restricted
To talking, hand in hand
We kissed and I'm conflicted
It's not what I had planned
