  5. Last week's copy of League Express included my letter in which I referred to the decline in the mental health of some players when they stop playing, some referees when they stop refereeing and some supporters as they begin to grow old. My suggestion on how to deal with this problem is to spend some quality time each week, writing a novel based generally on your own life, a novel that can include tales from your childhood and family tree, your work, home town characters and history, your hobbies and your special interest both in the game today and its history. People who I have suggested this to, usually agree with me that it seems an interesting way to spend time but then go on to say that they just would not know how to do it. For such people, I have now written three pages of general advice. This is based on the fact that since starting writing my first novel called "One Winter" in 1988, I have now written half a million words in six novels in a series that covers the years 1962 to 2008. If you would like to read these sheets, then contact me at wgeofflee@gmail.com and ask me to send you "Geoff's RL Writing Advice" However you might first prefer to read one of my novels or maybe like to buy one as a Christmas present for someone who likes a good laugh. To start with then, I would suggest "Three Good Years". It has a general background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League. The first chapter is titled "The Jehovah's Widnes" and the novel is set between 2006 and 2008 in the fictional town of Ashurst which borders with both Widnes and St Helens, my home town, on its south side and Billinge and Ashton on the north side..

  6. In this week's copy of League Express there is a letter from me in which I refer to the issue of mental health and how it can affect players when they finish playing, referees when they finish refereeing and supporters as they grow old. My suggestion for them all is to consider writing a novel based generally on their own life and times, their family and family tree, employment, home town, connections with and knowledge of rugby league. Many people who I have suggested this to, have generally agreed with me that it seems a good idea but that they would not even know how to start on such a project. For the benefit of such people, I have also written three pages of advice. I think that I am in a position to offer such help as, since starting it as a hobby in 1988, I have now written nearly half a million words in six Ashurst based novels in a series that runs between 1962 and 2008. If you would like me to send you these three sheets, contact me at wgeofflee@gmail.com and request Geoff Lee's RL Writing Notes. Some people might prefer to read a copy of one of my novels first or maybe give it as a Christmas present for someone who likes a good laugh. For them I would suggest my latest novel "Three Good Years" . To purchase a copy go to the web site of London League Publications at www.llpshop.co.uk , click on Books and then Fiction.
