1. Writing Goals

1. Ask the user about their writing practice—daily habit, creative exploration, or specific skill development?
   • Example: "What's your writing goal—build daily habit, explore creativity, improve skills, or process thoughts?"
2. Ask the user about preferred writing style—creative fiction, personal reflection, professional, or mixed?
   • Example: "What do you enjoy writing—stories, personal essays, business content, poetry, or open to anything?"
3. Ask the user about time available—how much time daily for prompted writing?
   • Example: "Daily writing time—10 min (quick), 20-30 min (standard), or 60+ min (deep)?"
4. Ask the user about topics of interest—what themes or subjects engage them?
   • Example: "Topics that interest you—personal growth, relationships, creativity, philosophy, career, nature, or wide variety?"
