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, educational, enjoyable and cheap. It is to start writing a novel based on your own life and times.
This is something that I started doing in 1988 as a hobby. It was inspired by three things: firstly my knowledge and interest in rugby league, its history and its many characters, secondly having a family tree going back to 1777 and the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller."
Based on my experiences so far I have now written some general guidelines on how to get started and do it.
Contact me at wgeofflee@gmail. Tell me your name, location and club supported and I'll send them to you.
However if you would prefer first to read one of my novels that's fine. I would suggest my latest one which is called "Three Good Years". It has a background of Work, Family Life, Saving The NHS and Rugby League during the 2006, 7 and 8 seasons.
It is available from London League Publications. Visit their web site at
