I'm a big fan of Sadie Nardini, Tara Stiles, and Ali Kamenova, but there are tons.

It's always true.) The more potential powerful what we're writing is, the more scared it makes us, so fear is actually an indication of something potentially transformative.

Many don't realize that as you get more advanced, it's a real muscle strengther (as well as relaxer) too.
