For all those people who are now faced with the prospect of having to self isolate and wondering how to spend all their spare time, can I suggest something to do that is interesting, enjoyable, educational and cheap. It is to start 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 by three things: firstly my interest and knowledge of the game of rugby league, its history and its many characters , having my family tree going back to 1777 along with the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller".
Based on my experiences doing this, I have now written a couple of A4 sheets explaining how I have done it. If this interests you or maybe one of your self isolating relatives or neighbours or friends, contact me at
wgeofflee@gmail.com with your name and E Mail address and I'll send them to you.
Alternatively you may prefer to read my latest novel "Three Good Years" first. It has a background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League during the 2006, 2007 and 2008 seasons. It is available from London League Publications. Visit them at
