I discovered Mahjong some time after I had bought my first Mac and instantly fell in love with the game. However, when I bought my G4, my copy of Mahjong Dynasty wouldn’t work without freezing. Because of that and life, I haven’t played this game for the better part of seven years. That was, until I saw this game on Amazon and decided to try it out. It works great with my Intel and my son’s PC.

This weekend, I needed a mental health break. I’ve been very busy preparing for the book tour, and last week two of my colleagues brought the normally cheerful atmosphere down with their drama. For the majority of Saturday, I sat in front of my computer and played every game in the program while scenes for my next writing project flowed through my mind. I kept reminding myself that I needed to write articles for the blog tour. I needed to do laundry. I needed to nag my oldest to study for his finals, which began today. But I didn’t care about any of that for a while.

I just kept playing until I got tired of the game. Then I pumped out three or four articles Saturday night and one on Sunday morning. The preparation for this tour is almost finished. I’ve started writing an in-depth character back story for my next project. While I have a concept for this story, I don’t have anything remotely cohesive yet.

Tonight, I came home and wrote a couple more articles. Pizza is scheduled to arrive on my doorstep within the hour. I’m ignoring the Mahjong icon that is sitting on my desktop. Tonight is for reading or writing.
