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. Why not try writing a novel based on your own life. (Equally this may be useful if you have an older relative now self isolating)
This is something that I started back in 1988 as a hobby. It was inspired by three things. My interest and knowledge of the game of rugby league, its history and its 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."
Based on my own experiences doing this, I have now written some general guidelines on how to get started. Contact me at wgeofflee@gmail.com and I'll send you them.

However to start with, you may like to read my latest (sixth) novel. It is called "Three Good Years" and is set between 2006 and 2008 with a background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League all set in the fictional of south Lancashire town of Ashurst.
It is available from the publisher London League Publications. Visit their web site at http://www.llpshop.co.uk. Click on Books and then Fiction for details of One Winter, One Autumn, Two Seasons and Three Good Years and a host of other books about our game.
