That's why on Oldbag I will write a 6000 word article and I don't care. For me, that blog is about providing a service not about earning money. (Though I do break long ones up with white space and pictures to make reading more easy).
I am probably rare in that I often feel cheated if I start reading a blog post/article that someone could really get their teeth into, but then they finish after a few hundred words and I'm wanting more - but there ISN'T any. Puts me right off.
Maybe I should just stop worrying about what 'they' recommend and write what I feel like writing?
Actually, you know what? That's what I'm going to do. If it only deserves 300 words, so be it. If I want to write '000s I will.
