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 doubt I'd make you happy
I can be complicated
And you'd have to accept me
Even if I don't
I doubt you'd find me worth it
I can be overrated
And you will strive for perfect
Even if I won't
You need to fuck every day
Who said that women weren't like that?
To those you doubt it you say
Why not, it's obvious I like that
Though I like sex quite a bit
Sometimes I'm simply too exhausted
Leave me alone with this shit
Just use your tools, no need to pause that
I have to stop thinking
My thoughts are no friends
The deeper I'm sinking
The closer the end
I have to keep trying
No matter the cost
My dreams, they start dying
My hope's almost lost
I have to keep writing
Or else they have won
I have to keep fighting
Or else I am gone
I try to cook before you're home
Do something nice for you
All day I've pondered on my own
Will I suffice for you?
I hear your key chain, then the door
Your voice that calls me "love"
However insecure before
I know now, I'm enough
Melancholy, my oldest friend
We are no strangers, don't pretend
You'll stick with me until the end
A rule we cannot break or bend
