For all those people now faced with the prospect of having to self isolate and wondering what to with all their time, can I suggest something that is interesting, enjoyable, educational and cheap. It is to write a novel based on their own life and times. It is something that I started doing in 1988 and just after I had been made redundant from Crosrol.
It was inspired by three things: firstly my interest and knowledge of rugby league, its history and its many characters, 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 doing that, I have since written some guidelines on how best to get started. If this interests you or maybe one of your older relatives contact me at wgeofflee@gmail.com and I'll send them to you.
However you may prefer first to read one of my novels. If so I would suggest my latest. It is called "Three Good Years" and is set during the 2006, 07 and 08 seasons with a background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League" and includes a note about Johnny Freeman at school.
It is available from London League Publications. Visit their web site at www.llpshop.co.uk Click on Books and then on Fiction.
