Not the case at all. Writing blog posts, writing stories, writing emails, all share the same principle: use only the words necessary to convey the message. Just because story-writing has a lot more description does not mean that those words aren't necessary. For example, for Hamlet to simply say "I am conflicted about my current situation and am contemplating suicide", does not nearly give the same nuance or insight into what his thought process is as "To be, or not to be, that is the question:/Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer/The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,/Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,/And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep". tl;dr the goal of most forms of writing is to convey a message with just the right amount of words
