Oh , do you mean when you are writing draft on medium it gives you a word count?Thank you because at some point I'm going to be putting it on to publish and then I will see my word count, right?

I always write on email so I can send it to myself and re-dictat it with additions and improvements multiple times. I leave a huge carbon footprint on the world. I go through reams of paper like I don't even care because I don't.
