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 not your daddy
You're not a child
I like things steady
And not too wild
Don't be an actress
I'm not a jerk
I'll leave you breathless
We'll make this work
If one day I'm gone
Don't cry for me
Is what I could say
All selflessly
Though after I've breathed
For all those years
I think I deserve
Some sobs and tears
You shattered me
The pieces bleed
I thought you'd be
Just what I need
But you were not
And I was blind
And all I got
Was left behind
Fluffy tiny being
Gentle little heart
There is no unseeing
How we came apart
I will always love you
Like the day we met
Every thought about you
Makes my eyes go wet
Unfaithful I can deal with
But silent is too much
This lump of blood I feel with
It needs your word and touch
The cheating doesn't break me
The lying is what kills
Why do you have to make me
Seek peace within these pills
