Great job Star! I love how you used bold format for some important keywords
As a minor suggestion, I feel that you could divide your bio into two paragraphs for easier readability.
​​​​​​Keep up the great work

@cuteeeezombieeee

Thank you! You are right. That could have made it easier for our eyes, haha. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Star996

You did an excellent job!! I like how you bolded important, keywords to capture the reader's attention when it comes to those words. The things you put for EAT are great and show you are trustworthy and have authority. I would maybe break the paragraph into two to make it easier to read, but other than that, I love it! Keep up the good work!

@Brinaa101


Thank you! I agree with you, perhaps a break between the paragraph will make it more appealing and readble to the audience. Thank you for the tip!
