For all those people now faced with the prospect of having to self isolate and wondering how to pass the time, can I suggest something to do that is interesting, enjoyable, educational and cheap.
Try writing a novel based on your own life and times.
This is something that I started doing as a hobby in 1988. It was inspired initially by three things: one was my interest and knowledge of the game of rugby league, its history and characters, secondly having a family tree going back to 1777 and thirdly the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller".
Based on what I have learned since then I have now written up a few notes that others could use to do something similar.
Contact me at
wgeofflee@gmail.com and I'll send them to you.
However you may prefer to read my latest novel first. It is called "Three Good Years" and has a background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League, all set between 2006 and 2008 in a fictional town called Ashurst which is located 'near' to St Helens, Warrington and Wigan.
It is available from London League Publications. Visit their web site at
www.llpshop.co.uk and click on Books and then Fiction. There you will also find a large collection of books about the greatest game.
