Road to 2,000
Two thousand readers. One story refusing to stop at the last page.
Books become a road when the story moves beyond the page.
The number is not decoration. It is the road.
No philanthropic fog machine. Just a public ledger, clear recipients, and a campaign that moves one reader at a time.
The running total is simple: $6,000 unlocks at 2,000 copies, so every copy sold, in any format, moves the total forward by the same share. 212 copies is 10.6% of the road, which is $636 of the $6,000. Signed copies carry one more thing on top: a direct $1 commitment from me, separate from this shared total.

The road is made of objects that leave the house.
Each copy becomes a line in the ledger, a reader, and eventually a public receipt.
Three organizations. One public promise.
Three destinations are named before the first dollar moves: suicide prevention, eating-disorder recovery, and support for autistic people and families.

Progress figures are public. Donations are made at campaign milestones. Receipts will be shared because trust should not require interpretive dance.
Campaign updates and receipts belong in the open.
The public record holds dated totals, the $1-per-direct-signed-copy commitment, future donation receipts, and calculation notes in the same place.
- CURRENT212 of 2,000 copiesPublic total currently displayed by the campaign ledger.
- NEXTMilestone updateThe next dated sales and donation record will appear here when published.
- METHODCalculation notesThe public total is $6,000 prorated across all 2,000 copies, so every sale counts equally toward it. Signed copies also carry a separate $1 direct commitment, on top of the shared total.
Choose the path that makes sense.
One reader at a time, because measurable change remains annoyingly attached to arithmetic.
