Updates... ♥
To start off my updates, I would like to announce that I've been working on a short video for my book, Once Lost, Forever Found. The official book promotion video will premier very, very soon. I will let all of you know when it is up and running.
Other than that, I have a few new interviews that I posted on my website...you can check them out. Also, I did some writing the other day. I promise the sequel to Once Lost, Forever Found will be written soon. I want to finish it and get it out there, but at the same time, I don't want to rush anything.
That is pretty much all I have to say for now. Thanks for all of the support and love, it is much appreciated.

Well, I got to write a little bit today. I finished chapter one of Once Lost, Forever Found Vol.2 and I might write some more later on today. It rained all day long while I wrote, and that made me very happy. I actually got to focus on my work instead of my depressing problems I am dealing with in reality.
In my spare time, I will be proof reading others' writing; helping aspiring writers and poets with their passion. When I am doing what I love, which is writing, and when I am able to help others, It makes me very happy and feel like I'm doing something good. Writing has become more than just a profession, and hobby...it has become a way to express my feelings and pour my entire soul into the pages of my books. Thank God for the little things in life that makes us feel infinite and tranquil...the little things that make way for us to escape reality and enter new worlds that we create. ♥

Well...not much has been going on lately in my life. I have been struggling with some personal issues lately involving people that I love. I'm not doing so good mentally/emotionally right now...
That is why I haven't had time to schedule an actual event to read my book like I promised a lot of people I would. I promise I will do that very soon though. I will also start getting to work writing Once Lost, Forever Found Volume #2.
There's a lot of other things I want to accomplish with my writing and I just hope I can do so...people have been really supportive of me and have been there for me through my bad times, and through my really good times, and I appreciate that so very much.
That is all I have to say for now...until I have more to say. Thank you, all of you for being there for me. ♥

Well, my novel finally got published, yay! I'm very happy with the outcome of it.
here is what it is about:
Written in the form of a memoir, Effie tells the story of how she and her brother, Vladimir, had become lost in the world; their wayward teenage years.
Her internal struggles and emotions threaten to eat her alive. Memories of her childhood remind her of the innocence she once possessed. She has been hurt so many times in her life...the world can be so cruel. She knows there is more to life than this. She knows true love exists.
She looks up to her older brother Vladimir, who handles emotions so well on the outside. On the inside, he is screaming, and no one knows it, except for himself. How can someone be so strong for so long? There is a breaking point; there is pain, longing, loss, resentment, regret, anger, sadness, self-loathing, heartbreak, silent screams that will never be heard.......there is hope.
Where can hope be found in this world? How do you find yourself amongst the turmoil? Find yourself in this unforgettable, touching, emotional, relatable story of two young hearts who discover what it means to be Once Lost, Forever Found.
You can purchase Once Lost, Forever Found in paperback version, or kindle version at: http://www.amazon.com/ or http://www.amazon.co.uk/
QUOTES FROM THE BOOK:
“People come and go in our lifetime, but we hold onto the ones worth keeping, the ones who have touched our lives in such a way that changes everything we thought we knew or felt; life itself changes.” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
“While we are living, our lives are like that of an open book, still being written. Eventually, our book closes for us, and to others, it will be as if we never existed at all. Those of us who write down our life story, will leave a little piece of us behind when we're gone.” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
“I had never been in love with anyone before in my life, but I knew the feeling when it came bursting into my soul, like a million butterflies swirling around inside of me, like a tidal wave crashing into the shore that was my heart, flooding it completely and wiping out everything in it's path...” - Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
“Vladimir stood next to one of the beams on the back porch of our new home, leaning on his back. He reached in his pocket and grabbed a pack of cigarettes, Marlboro Reds which were his favorites, and he lit one up. He was dressed all in black; black skinny jeans, black studded belt, black tennis shoes, black v neck shirt and he had the hood of his black jacket up over his head. He looked cool and collected, and somewhat villainous.” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
“One look into your beautiful eyes, and my self-loathing soul felt envy. I had become vulnerable that instant...helpless, wanting, hating, resenting, loathing...” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
“If ever you feel lost, terrified, alone, emotionally and physically drained...when you feel like depression has overpowered you, and that the world itself, has devoured you...just remember that you are not alone, you are loved, you are a beautiful story waiting to be told.” -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)
Anyways, on another note, I was thinking about writing another poetry book in the meantime...well, when I'm not working on the sequel to Once Lost, Forever Found that is. c: I want to write poetry again, I miss it so much. ♥ I will let everyone know for sure if I will write a romance poetry book or not. One thing is for sure though...I'm going to be a very busy woman the next couple of months. c:
That's all I have to say for now, thanks for all of the love and support, everyone! ♥

Drum roll, please..............I FINISHED WRITING MY NOVEL!!! It is finally complete! I thought I would never get to say that, what with my busy personal life and such; I thought I would never complete it in time. But now comes the editing part...after that, I can start the publishing process though. I will let you guys know all about Once Lost, Forever Found Volume 1 on my website. As of now, I have the short synopsis of what my book is about. After it is published, I will have a full description of the book, along with some samples from inside. c:
Anyways, like I've mentioned, I've been having some emotional dilemmas in my personal life as of now. I guess we all have those moments in life...you know what though? Don't let those moments hold you back from accomplishing your goals. Just do what I do, and channel all of your emotions into your work, your hobbies, your creativity...anything. It will make whatever you work on more meaningful and emotionally beautiful....
Thanks for all of the support and love, everyone! It really means a lot to me...

I am finishing up my book at the slowest pace possible...I am trying to finish it, but I don't want to rush it. I want to put all I've got into this novel and not have any reason to be disappointed with it in the end. Everything is so up and down lately....but I will get there.
Writing an emotional piece is hard on your own emotions. It takes a lot out of you because you have to empty all of your feelings, your deep feelings into the pages of your book. It's hard spilling your guts out in the form of ink....
For all of the emotional people out there like me, you can understand what I am talking about. I hope you guys will enjoy my upcoming book....I hope it connects to you on a personal level...I hope it makes you feel, feel deeply moved....
That's all I have to say for now.....

So…I’ve been thinking about creating my own website. It’s time that I start looking professional. All of the social media websites are great for artists, authors, actors, bloggers, anyone in general…but I also need a place that has everything in one; a place where people can find my books, interviews, blogs, upcoming events, coming soon, Q & A, reviews, signings, events, etc. I talk about my updates on all of my social media websites, and that is great…but I need to create an official website to prevent confusion. It will have everything right there in one place so I won’t have to juggle a million other sites all at once. I will let everyone know when it is up and running. I can’t wait!
Thanks for the love and support, everyone!

I just got an interview recently. You can check it out here by clicking on this link: http://awesomegang.com/nina-slack/ ♥
As for other updates, I did manage to finish writing chapter seven in my novel last week. It was the longest chapter I've had to write so far. I had to actually research an illegal drug; it's side effects, addiction signs, what it does to a person, what it looks like, etc. one of my characters is struggling with this drug, you see (I am not saying which of my characters though). It was quite silly, that day, I had my mother come over and she asked me what I was up to and I told her that I was on the internet researching drugs. The look on her face was priceless. I eventually told her that it was for writing purposes though.
Anyways, that is really all I have to say for now on my updates. I shall get to work on chapter eight this week. I wonder what other kinds of crazy things I will have to do research on....hmmm....
Thanks for all of the love and support, everyone!

Updates/personal thoughts...
It’s 3:40 in the morning where I am right now and I can’t sleep! O.o
Anyways, updates…I am half way through writing chapter seven of my novel. The other day, I entertained the thought that, ‘Wow…my book is going to be full of drama. Is this going to depress my readers?’ I surely hope not…I just tried to make it seem real as possible, not a faerie tale(I like spelling fairy that way). I love faerie tales, I do, but for my book, It calls for a lot of drama, real life situations. It will have a happy ending though, I promise. ♥ It’s making me emotional just writing this novel, I’m putting my heart and soul into it and I could say much more…but I shouldn’t.
Besides the point, I’ve been an emotional wreck lately; ups and downs like crazy. I guess I’m just stressing myself out too much about things…oh well. I don’t know why I am letting all of you know my emotional problems…I guess it makes me feel like I am talking to somebody about them. ♥
Anyways, thanks everyone for the support and love! And for sticking around with me. ♥
