Don’t do what you sincerely don’t want to do. Never confuse movement with action.

Ernest Hemingway said that to Marlene Dietrich. Like Marlene, I find those few words to be an excellent razor to apply to everything I tackle — including FFXI.

Lately, I find myself perpetuating a great deal of movement in the game. Amongst all this churn and turbulence I create, I see little headway made on any front.

Now that my static has disintegrated ( it’s not a bad thing, as many of the static members have positive RL events that keep them from the game ), I have time to pursue other options.

Grow the linkshell? Level my other sub-jobs (Thief, Dancer, White Mage) to 37? Forge another static? Go solo with Paladin to 75?
