Introducing The TRI Method: Input Needed

I’m building something and need your input.

Coming soon, I’ll launch my website for The TRI Method^TM—Test, Run, Iterate—which applies product discipline and athletic endurance to creative work. This methodology helps writers and creators finish what they start through a systematic, repeatable process that enables creative self-actualization.

I have…

• Completed over 45 races over the last 18 years, ranging from 5Ks to a full 140.6-mile Ironman

• Written 4 full-length sci-fi/fantasy/speculative manuscripts since 2020

• Published one novel, multiple short stories, poetry, and art in literary journals and magazines

… all while having a full-time job and raising two kids under the age of fifteen.

The question I get asked most often is, “How do you do it all?” My answer has traditionally been, “I don’t waste time,” but when I dig deeper, it’s my systems that set me up for success. It’s the micro decisions I make on a daily basis.

I’m no different from most people: I have dreams, goals. What sets me apart is I put the systems in place to achieve them.

I execute methodically.

And now, I’d like to share this with you, because one thing I’ve discovered about myself is I love seeing others succeed.

Someone needs to hear your story, your poetry, your songs. Someone needs to see your art, appreciate your perspectives, know they’re in good company. And if you’re lucky, they’ll be compelled into action, either to help themselves or others (or both!).

But first I need to know: what’s stopping you from completing your work?
