Hi @fingersik. I just want to correct something regarding the words count. Actually, there is no such requirement. The author can write as much or as simple as they would like to and still be curated. Apart from that, things like a minimum of 500 words or a specific number of paragraphs are just some guidelines to help newbies to structure their own article. Although people were less likely to receive a vote from steemstem if their article is too short but if it is good, then it would be curated.

Write your article as creative as you can, cite your article's references and images' sources and you are good to go. If you were not curated it can be due to a few reasons but writing less than 1000 words is not one of them.
