I Want To Write Something That Matters
I want to write something big— Something that makes you want to sing, or dance, or laugh, or sob. Something that makes you feel anything. Something that sticks with you.

By Clarissa Enos Plagmann I have so many ideas for blog posts, some half-written, some only vaguely thought of, that I struggle knowing what to post each week.
