Ended Official BYC Article Writing Contest #8 - Write and Win!

Pics
I'll be starting an article soon! :jumpy It's going to be on different calm breeds of chickens because I see lots of BYC members wondering about different calm breeds. I'm just gathering some pics before I start!

So I have written an article on 'How to Get Started in Chicken Showing' but of course my passions got a little bit in the way and I really detailed out everything that the total beginner in showing should know. And.. well... now its 3800 words. I'm going to edit some but it will probably still be at least 3000. Should I try and chop it up into 'Reading Show Abbreviations and How to be Ready Before your Ever Step in the Ring' and 'How Not to Look Ridiculous at your First Chicken Show' or just I just go with the whole 3000 words? I like that as it is now it details out literally everything you would need to know to walk in to The Ohio National Poultry Show and show competitively, and its all in one place. But it is a little... wordy.

The more words the better! As long as you're not repeating yourself or just babbling on about irrelevant things. I would probably change the title though instead of "How to Get Started......". Maybe, "A Complete Guide to the Beginner Chicken Shower", or something like that. :)
