I think the authors purpose was to give readers some advice on how to write. She`s basically saying that we should`nt think too hard about what we are going to write, we should just start out simple be real with it. For example in the reading she says "allow yourself to be awkward".
I think she had high school and college students in mind when she wrote this piece. Other people who might benefit from this are people who have difficulty putting their thoughts together on a piece of paper.People who might not benefit from this are those who have mastered the art of writing.Her subject is the student whom she spoke about that writes really well. She thinks he rights really well but he just needs to take it slow.

I like how you give your opinion of the reading, and then quote from it to back up your interpretation. This is a good practice that helps people see how you came to your conclusion.
I'm not sure people exist who have "mastered the art of writing" (I know I haven't.) Even people who have published many things have difficulty writing. And someone who writes novels really well can be totally clueless when asked to write a different genre such as a brochure. There are some portable skills, but writing is a lifelong challenge. Take every opportunity you get in college to improve it, if even a little bit at a time.
