Hello, and welcome to my Monthly Roundup post for November, here on Track of Words. Life continues to be up and down a little bit, and I’ve been kept busy this month trying to find a suitable balance between all the things I want to be doing now that I’ve started my new job out in the real world. Nevertheless, this is my tenth post on Track of Words in November, so that’s two up on October – I was aiming for 12 or 13 this month, but 10 isn’t bad. I’m also pretty happy with how these posts have come out, and (pleasantly) surprised that I’ve found both the time and headspace to write six reviews and publish the first ever guest review on the site. In these roundups I’ve repeatedly talked about being hopeful that I can get into a more productive headspace each month, but this time I’m actually quietly confident that I will be able to do that – check out the general update section later on for a few thoughts on what I’ve got planned for December!

Hello, and welcome to my Monthly Roundup post for October, here on Track of Words. At risk of sounding like a broken record, life’s been somewhat up and down recently, and October was definitely more down than up. I’ve had a hard time concentrating on Track of Words, so I only managed seven new posts this month (eight, including this one)…but hopefully that’s seven good posts, at least! All things considered I’m actually very pleased with these, partly because between them they cover quite a lot of ground and partly because I’m just really pleased with how some of them have come out (despite everything). Only time will tell whether I get back to a more productive state next month, but hopefully there’s been at least something you’ve enjoyed in October!

Hello, and welcome to this Monthly Roundup post here on Track of Words. While August was an unusually quiet month, I got back up to speed in September with twelve new posts – thirteen if you include this one! It felt great to be back in the swing of things, working on a variety of different pieces. I feel like I managed a good balance in September, with a range of book reviews, author interviews and blog articles, and I’ve even managed to catch up with my backlog of reviews in order to (for once) have a supply of new content ready and waiting to be published. Whether or not I can maintain this sort of progress for long remains to be seen, but at least it’s worked out well for September!

Hello, and welcome to this Monthly Roundup post here on Track of Words. August has been a quiet month for me on the Track of Words front, even more so than recently – this article I’m writing now is only the fourth I’ve published in the whole month, which is by far the lowest number for years. I feel like a bit of a broken record with how many times I’ve said something similar recently, but I really have found it hard working on new content in August, for various reasons (including my health). Or at least, hard working on the usual reviews and so on – I’ve actually been busy with some new elements of site structure and navigation, which you may have noticed if you’ve had a look at the menus recently.
