12) About the Writer: Writing Effective Writer Biographies

@FeureVox

I absolutely love the light-hearted, positive, and extremely happy tone that you used throughout your whole biography.

The descriptions are all very rich and interesting, and the fact that you were so open and honest to share your story is simply wonderful and heart-warming.

As a suggestion and feedback for improvement, I’d say to keep the biography a bit shorter and less detailed.

Thanks you so much for this brilliant answer!

@TogetherForeverAlways Thank you very much for your kind

@FeureVox

Most welcome. It was a true pleasure to read it 😉

Paws I think your paragraph shows a lot of dedication to your listener role and compliments your abilities to quickly grasp the concepts of the Academy courses. Area of improvement: maybe you could have included more about how your experience on cups helped you enhance your skill base as an role model on cups.
