For all those people now faced with the prospect of having to self isolate and wondering how to spend the time, can I suggest something to do that is interesting, enjoyable, educational and cheap. It is to write a novel based on your own life and times.
This is something that I started to do in 1988. It was inspired by three things: firstly my interest and knowledge of rugby league, its history and characters, my 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". I have now written half a million words in six novels
Based on my experiences I have now written some general advice about how to start. If you would like to read this, E Mail me at
wgeofflee@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.
However if you would like to read one of my novels first, can I suggest my sixth. It is called "Three Good Years" and is set against a background of Work, Family Life, Saving The NHS and Rugby League all set during the2006, 7 and 8 seasons, It is available from the publisher London League Publications.
