Let’s Compare – Quickies vs. Epics

For the purpose of today’s article, we’ll compare two different articles that are on opposite ends of the content spectrum – quick articles, or short articles, if you will vs. epic articles.

While there is no set number to define a quick article or an epic article, in my mind, short articles are anything under 500 words. Some may define it by a lower number. To me, the article you’re reading right now is on the long end of a quick article, and not just because of the low word count. More on that in a minute.

Which brings us to the next big difference between quick articles and epic articles – and one that I think distinguishes between the two better than some random word count. A quick article is something you can sit down and write quickly. An epic article, on the other hand, requires some research and planning.
