Question

I am looking for a wordpress plugin that will allow me to add a paragraph to the sidebar that is specific to the blog post. I would need to be able to add that text when creating the post. Is there something out there like that? I have been unsuccessful in searches.
Thanks

This isn’t something that I’ve ever personally done, but try this.

Summary: You will add the a paragraph using a custom field, then display it in a widget.

Details:

• First, make sure custom fields are enabled. Edit a post, then click
  the “screen options” at the top right of the page. If “Custom
  Fields” isn’t checked, check it. You should now see a custom field
  area below the post editor.
• Come up with a name for your custom field. Perhaps
  “extra_paragraph”. Now put that in the “name” field in the custom
  field area.
• Write your paragraph in the “value” field the custom field area.
• Install the Custom Field Widget plugin, set it to display this
  new “extra_paragraph” field. (widget appears to be untested with newer versions of WordPress so cross your fingers!)

Now when you write or edit posts you should see this “extra_paragraph” field as an option in the “name” dropdown.
