Der Rattenkönig

A play I wrote back in 2010. It’s about a gang of heroes trying to fight a monster in the sewers. It turns out to be a hipster hater. Needed to get some negative feelings about Vienna out of my system. Doesn’t work on stage.

World of Warcraft years commence

I played World of Warcraft from roughly 2010 to 2020. During that period, I spent most of my time and energy on progressing my characters. While listening to podcasts. And audiobooks. Do I regret it? The podcasts were nice.

Du bist meine kleine Gummizelle

A song I wrote back in the day, back in Vienna. Don’t really like it, feels too convoluted. “Nicht reden” goes easier, this one feels overwrought. Too much shit left unsaid makes for a cramped style.

Remnants of an old Twitter Bot

Back in 2009 I wrote a Twitter bot that took short bits from my writing at random, and published them on the web. This was… interesting. Too intense. And not the right kind of stuff for an audience looking for cat pics and family-friendly showerthoughts.

Ich will nicht reden

The first time I picked up my guitar and wrote a song. Many would follow. Some of them are good, most of them unpublished. But you can listen to this one.

Sucky *ucky Paris

A collection of short stories I wrote back in 2005. Those were the wild days when I thought editing was the devil’s work. Everything needs to be recorded raw, as god or the brain intended. Making the text more coherent? Pah, foolish philistine!

Tales from an old blog

From roughly 2005 to 2009 I maintained a personal blog, using it to advertise my writing chops to potential clients. It worked, some people got interested. But then newsrooms got smaller, budgets got cut, and the payments got silly. Bye-bye journalism.
