I'm done with the First Draft!

Hey guys!

I'm done with my first draft of The Nebu Khet's Cry! Now...time to revise. Bleh!

I'm so freaking happy and I can't wait to see if I can land that ever elusive Agent.

I'm sorry for such intermittent blog posts, but Twitter is much easier for me to update while on the go. Find me there by searching for NebuKhet.

Thanks for your support peeps!

Talk to ya'll later,

Marcus

Wrapping It Up

I might be finished with the first draft tomorrow. I'm so excited peeps, seriously. I already have the follow up outlined and a graphic novel in the works. I'm so proud of myself!

Character Playlist

It seems to be an interesting point that some people want to know so I created a playlist of songs that remind me of what each character is going through internally as well as in life. Their personalities are also reflected in the song lyrics/mood.

It's incomplete but I will add to it when I have time, right now I have to stay focused on the writing.

PS: You don't know some of the characters yet :)

Genre?

Okay,

So I always made the assumption that I was a science fiction writer, since my stuff has death but it isn't totally gory, therefore lacking the means to be labeled a horror writer. Okay, I'm wrong!

I am apparently an urban dark fantasy writer! Whoo-hoo!!!

So much more entertaining to be labeled with a three word genre rather than a two or one word one.

REMEMBER: Getting your genre right is important in the journey to getting published. You will be querying agents and you will most likely contact agents that have no interest in your work if you do not figure out what your genre is before hand. You will also list the wrong genre in your query letter which would be detrimental to your efforts considering that the agent will read your letter and then say, "How can I market or sell someone's work when that someone has no idea what kind of work they write?".

Anyways, happy writing to my author friends out there, and good luck on all your current and future endeavors.

Best Regards,

Marcus Twyman

Phones And Swimming Pools... I think you get the idea :(

Well, got pushed in the pool yesterday by a younger cousin- with DROID phone in my pocket. Thank God for insurance and overnight shipping.

Good news is...I got him back!

That'll teach him to mess with his elders!
