Subject: [PATCH] Editor: Update the default writing prompt to match the block
editor.
Recently merged, https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/29611, changed the default writing prompt text. WordPress core offers the `write_your_story` filter with a default value using the same text. This change updates the default text to match the recent change in the block editor.
Props Joen, SergeyBiryukov.
Fixes #52948.
