... But you are right, they are not the same thing, and some clients really do allow time to 'sleep on' the small projects and polish them.
I wish they all did - it makes a big difference to a press release or a website. Even so, there is a limit to how long most people will wait for 750 words, while they have to accept that 75 000 will take a couple of months at least
Jobs like press releases and letters tend to be urgent - 'breaking news' or troubleshooting, so I have to do the best I can in the few hours available.
