Hello and welcome to the April 2023 Monthly Roundup on Track of Words. After talking quite a lot in the last instalment about how slow March was for me (particularly in terms of writing) I was hoping I’d have more to talk about this time around. As it happens though, April has in fact been even slower, not least because I’ve spent more than half of the month unwell. I do have a few pieces to talk about from what I posted in April so I’ll go through those as usual, and talk a little about the month’s reading, but once again I’ll keep things quite short overall.

Hello and welcome to my Monthly Roundup for March 2023 here on Track of Words. It’s been a slow month for me personally, and this post you’re reading is only the sixth thing I’ve published in all of March – not since April 2022 have I posted so few times in a month. I’ll talk a little bit later on about why I think things have been so slow, but in short I simply haven’t had the energy, headspace or motivation for working on the site over the last few weeks. Or at least, to get things actually finished. I do have a few pieces in various states of completion so hopefully I’ll have more to talk about in April. I’m still struggling for motivation even as I write this though, so I think I’ll keep things pretty short for this instalment.

Welcome to my Track of Words Monthly Roundup post for February 2023. I hope February has treated you well – it’s been a little quieter for me than January was, but still pretty good overall. For this roundup I’ll do my usual recap of the last few weeks’ posts, after which I’ll continue with the style of article I adopted last month – talking very briefly about how I got on with my reading before concentrating mostly on interesting goings-on in the world of SFF. I enjoyed putting last month’s roundup together, and I hope it was interesting – do let me know what you think!

Hello and welcome to the final Track of Words post of 2022 – my Monthly Roundup for December, in which I’m going to look back at what’s been going on over the last month here on Track of Words. As it always is in December, it’s been pretty busy for me – I talked last month about the preparation that went into my Advent Calendar series, and this month it’s been all about getting each of those articles, guest posts, interviews etc. ready and up on the site. I’m quite looking forward to a considerably quieter January, but it’s actually been a lot of fun working on the Advent Calendar series, and I hope you’ve been enjoying all the posts this month. In this article I’ll give a recap of everything that I posted in December as usual, and then follow that up with a quick update talking about the Advent series and how things have gone in December in general.
