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.
Tired from all the sex
Inhaling your scent
While holding your hand
And kissing your pretty legs
Not thinking of my ex
Because I feel good
It's all thanks to you
If only you knew
You took the train back home with me
You didn't have to
My place is far from where we met
But still you came
It's after midnight and I see
You in my bedroom
And I'll make sure that no regret
Will stain my name
Sometimes I hope you're miserable
Sometimes I hope you miss me
Sometimes I hope you cry and think
Of how you long to kiss me
Sometimes I hope you curse yourself
For pushing me away
Sometimes I guess I only hope
For you to be okay
Out off all those nagging questions they say "What if?" ist the worst
Not all too pressing at first, until it turns into thirst
In the wake of indiscretions you think "Why didn't I quit?"
But while you might feel like shit, at least you know that's not it
I admire happiness
It's a skill I don't possess
When you're struggling and a mess
You just settle for much less
I'm afraid of what's ahead
Will things always stay this bad
Will I always be this sad
Will I start to live instead
