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.
They're not so bad
Most days
With you
We do
Always
What keeps the sad
Away.
It's not for real
This touch
We share
You care
Not much
For what I feel
Please stay.
There was a time
When time was precious
A stream, a river, not a lake
We were aware of all our treasures
We lived the dream so wide awake
Wish I could walk
On paws of silk
Up to your bed
And drink my milk
Would never talk
But I'd be there
For you all night
If you were sad
Then I would rest
Close to your heart
Upon your chest
That's all I'd have
But I would care
To make it right
Some nights are lonelier than others
Some knights more vulnerable than most
And while they cuddle with their covers
The blanket turns into a ghost
It utters tragedies and treason
It speaks of fears that they can't face
How self-delusion is the reason
Why no one dreams of their embrace
Move up and down on me
Eyes closed and mouth half open
Breasts bouncing, and I see
Your mind goes blank, you're coping
You're functioning all day
Responsible is tiring
All worries put away
Now let me be inspiring
Move back and forth on me
And ride me how you need it
Life's struggles, let them be
You're strong and undefeated
