The books are a freaking bag - with side pockets! 😮🤩 #romancewritersnz #craft #bookbag

I realised recently that I’ve been talking a lot about the books I’m *writing* — and not nearly enough about the books I’ve already written. 😄 So… I think it’s time I started introducing them properly again. ❤️ Tell me which cover catches your eye. #childrenspicturebook #indieauthor #nzauthor

Poetry prompt: Bane It seems to be the bane of my existence, that I forget the simple things. All too often, because there are other things I’m trying to remember to cram into the day. #poetry #bane #indieauthor

Poetry prompt: Spoon "Spoon!" would come the playground taunt and then of course, with knife-sharp wit, we would retort "Fork you!" (C) Matthew Goodall 21/7/2026 #poetry #sarcasm #indieauthor

Cartoon image of school children holding spoons in the air. The poem “Spoon,” by Matthew Goodall, overlaid on it.

Although, urns are usually associated with a burn 🤔 #typo #indieauthor

Photo of an old-style manual typewriter. The paper in it reads:
A ‘slow burn romance’ would be quite a different read to a ‘slow urn romance.’

One day when this will all be over and the final scores are tallied up, How will we answer when we are asked “Was it all worth it?” (C) Matthew Goodall 12.7.2026 #poetry #philosophicalquestion #indieauthor

When I was a young fulla, Granny paid for me to enter a baking competition at the A&P show.  I was heartbroken that my fruit loaf, split down the middle. It can’t’ve been too bad though-I got second place with it. Poetry prompt: Competition #poetry #nostalgia #assassinscreedblackflag #indieauthor

I rang Mum every night-to talk share & keep her company. The day she passed, I called her 2x. I thought she was out doing Christmas things-it was 2 days away. I think about her going to sleep, not having a ph. call, not being there to hold her hand, every day. #poetry #message #love #indieauthor

The prompt was: What silence sounds like. As it’s Pride month, this fell into place (along with a variation I’ll share later). Thoughts and prayers are exactly what silence sounds like. Words without substance. #poetry #pride #pulse #indieauthor

To be fair, gingers might well be grazing his arm! #typo #indieauthor

Image of an old typewriter with a sheet of paper in it.
Text on paper reads: ‘I stretch out to him, my gingers grazing his arm.’ Okay, that should be fingers!
