Hey Urban Fantastic Family

Isn't this what life is about? Being the best you can be. Some of us find it difficult to picture that imagined outcome in whatever creative or life situation we are in. Maybe it's the steps in between that frighten us. For me I'm reminded of the process of writing - creating characters and worlds. It can feel daunting initially but once you start with the tools and knowledge at your disposal then it gets easier. I start with character first and have a good idea how the story will conclude. I then create the setting. And I've found that just how you create your fictional world, it's not too far removed from creating a meaningful life. In fact there are so many similarities that the writing process is what I incorporate when I'm striving for positive change.

The good thing is, it doesn't have to take a lot of time to begin with. Once you've established the result your looking for - how your story ends then you start to figure out the steps in between. The key is to start the process and persist. I'm hoping this brief article that I've attached will motivate you to do that.

If you have any creative pursuits you need some guidance with - especially the genre kind, then hit me up. I'm always available - contact@ anton-marks.com.

What! You haven't joined my Facebook Group yet. Well what are you waiting for? Here's the link:

Illuminate Black Science Fiction - Urban Fantastic https://www.facebook.com/groups/urbanfantastic/

The group is meant to promote, highlight and celebrate the presence of black contribution in genre film, TV, comics and Speculative fiction with due emphasis on diversity as a whole. I'm also hoping in our small way the group can contribute and inspire the creation of a legacy of stories told through Novels, film, TV, comics, animation or theatre.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Talk soon

Peace, love and power

Anton Marks
