Calque Ideas provides an opportunity for writers to think aloud, using their own experiences and knowledge to approach topics in an accessible and attractive way.

In a highly personal and emotionally direct essay, Vida Cruz-Borja discusses the ways in which writing is sometimes perceived as an emotional outlet for an author, a way to write/right the wrongs of the world, and then complicates this perception, revealing the ways in which a deeper humanity - and the fundamental power of narrative structure - guides, and sometimes forces, an author to write in a way that is more just, and whose acknowledgement of injustice is its most important effect.
