The “Writing Simplified” text outlines four purposes for writing; to explore/examine, to entertain, to inform and to persuade. Although there can be elements of all for purposes in a paper, it is important to keep your paper focused by understanding which is your primary purpose. My primary purpose is to explore examine what I had learned through my experience of having breast cancer. Many things in my life were coming unraveled at the time that I was diagnosed and by stopping and considering what this meant for my life, if I was going to put things back together again as they had been, or go about life different. I began to look at where I was in life as opportunity to make changes and live better than I had. Which for me meant being more intentional with my time and relationships. By setting up parameters for myself that have helped to “seize the day” and do things that I had been putting off, I have learned to live because I had cancer.
