#WordWeavers July 21. As a reader, how much detail do you want on characters’ appearance?

Details critical to the plot need to be conveyed, sure, but if hair colour, for example, is irrelevant, let the reader imagine what they will. Something in the story will have have triggered a memory for the reader--different, in every case--which will supply these details.

I forgot how emotionally attached people can become to their code.

Have you ever wondered why HIGH-PAYING courses get completed more diligently than free ones? 🤔

🤷♂️ It's like assembling IKEA furniture! IKEA furniture: You have to assemble yourself.

When you invest time, money, and energy, you will love them.

This is called the 'IKEA effect,' which shows we cherish what we put effort into, whether it's a table, learning, or any other part of our lives.

I joined the #Fediverse back in May 2009 and then again in February 2017. Both times I ended up losing interest after a few months.

The reason why I am certain the third time's the charm is, in part, because of the #IkeaEffect. Back in 2009 and 2017, it wasn't as easy to deploy an instance as it is now. Now I am running my instance on my own server, on my own domain. I value my place in the #Fediverse much more because of it.

Add to that the fact that there are *a lot* more people here, with a whole lot of interesting perspectives and things to say, and I can't see being bored in the same way.
