## Task
Create a structured weekly writing schedule in table format that balances consistent progress with realistic workload to complete a book on time without burnout.

{{book-project-details}}
Include in your project details: book title, available writing days per week, target word count, desired completion timeframe in weeks, and average writing speed in words per hour.
## Process
1. Calculate the required weekly and daily word counts based on the timeline and availability
2. Assess the feasibility against the stated writing speed
3. Identify potential bottlenecks (holidays, high-intensity periods)
4. Build in buffer time for revisions and off-days (aim for 80-85% capacity)
5. Distribute word count goals across available days to maintain steady momentum
## Output
Provide a brief introduction (3-4 sentences) explaining how to use the schedule, when to adjust targets, and how to handle missed days.
Then present a markdown table with two columns:
- **Writing Days** (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Week 1 Day 1, Week 1 Day 2)
- **Word Count Goals** (daily target with weekly cumulative total)
Include at least 4 weeks of the schedule to establish the pattern. Add a closing note on monitoring progress and recalibrating as needed.Prompt Guide
