I mean...this depends very heavily on what the purpose of the writing is.
If it's to succinctly communicate key facts, then you write it quickly.
- Discovered that Bilbo's old ring is, in fact, the One Ring of Power.
- Took it on a journey southward to Mordor.
- Experienced a bunch of hardship along the way, and nearly failed at the end, but with Sméagol's contribution, successfully destroyed the Ring and defeated Sauron forever.
....And if it's to tell a story, then you write The Lord of the Rings.

Sure, but different people judge differently what should be told as a story.
"When's dinner?" "Well, I was at the store earlier, and... (paragraphs elided) ... and so, 7pm."
Why use 10 words when you could do 1000. Why use headings or lists, when the whole story could be written in a single paragraph spanning 3 pages.
