When people find out you’re a writer this question usually comes up. It’s a question i used to dread, not for the intrusiveness, but because i knew whatever answer i could offer was at best a well-intentioned lie. I never really knew the truth. To answer that question honestly i would have to log in to every one of my sales platforms, pull up the sales reports, download the excel files, crunch them all together into a pivot table, and then compute the sum. By the time i was finished the number was already antiquated. This is where the idea of scribecount was born.
