The more ad-hoc a homebrown solution to a simple problem seems, the
more it may be prudent to wait for other replies before investing time
in what amounts to the blind leading the blind. Or one could try
consulting the documentation.
The Emacs manual has a node "Marking Objects" which gives this
bindings among others. The node can be found with
C-h i d m Emacs RET i mark RET
and then cycling with , through the occurences.
C-h a ^mark RET
gives a whole slew of marking commands, too, for those that mistrust
manuals.
