About | The TRI Method™

Hi, I'm Kim!

My goal is to help you achieve yours. I'm passionate about seeing people achieve their full potential. For creatives, that means producing something you conceived—from a tiny spark of an idea to a fully fledged piece of work someone else can enjoy and hopefully be inspired by.

I live a 'no regrets' lifestyle, so after twenty years in corporate positions, leading digital products across industries like telecommunications, automotive, quantum technology, and healthtech, I'm excited to blend my professional experience in product management with my personal experience competing in triathlons, teaching group fitness classes, and publishing my creative work. I'm bringing it all together in a framework I'm calling 'The TRI Method.'

A Bit About Me

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 (DUSK), 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 and achieve self-actualization.

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 because of your work. That's what changes the world: Great thinkers who inspire others.

But that audience will only be inspired if they know about you, and they will only know about you if you finish your work and put it out there!

("Okay, mom...").

Let's get started.

I've learned it's easy to think net losses equal failure, because that's what a capitalist economy teaches us.

But an artist's economy celebrates vulnerability and producing thoughtful ideas that inspire & connect.

Heyyyy Phoenix 🐦‍🔥

@johnsummit can't wait for Saturday!!!

Another 5-star professional review just in! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Sharp, vulnerable, lingering, fiercely smart, and even a little bit romantic, Dusk asks hard questions we may not be ready to answer and gives the invitation to begin to."

Read the whole review on Reedsy Monday.

🥰😭🔥💥

Small achievements, so many reasons to celebrate!

I finished editing the first 100 pages of my next book and sent it off for a beta reading.

I finished reading and reviewing another book I've been working on for 2 weeks.

I submitted Dusk for an Indie Book of the Year award!!

... And so much more. All this weekend. All because I set my intentions and time boxed myself to get it done. 💡📚

🤖Me vs. Me🤖: Does AI just tell us what we want to hear?

I'm arguing both sides of the AI sycophancy debate because the best way to understand a complex issue is to consider both perspectives.

Is it helpful adaptation or harmful manipulation when AI tailors responses to user preferences? Watch me duke it out with myself.

This month's microfiction piece is inspired by the legendary @johnsummit. With hit after hit this year, I imagined him seeking the expansiveness of the Canadian Rockies to breathe and recover over the holidays, preparing for another epic year in 2026. (All of this is fictional.) Can't wait to see him live someday soon! 😍🎶🪩👩‍🎤🎤

One of my favorite deleted scenes is the one when Theo returns to his office in Texas after his unexpected trip to London with Anna. Feeling a surge of invincibility, he quits on the spot.

I imagined this scene playing out a bit like it belonged on The Office, with Don acting like Dwight, and Jason (Theo’s boss) staying perfectly in character from the first scene in the book—a superficial schmoozer.

Enjoy this teaser, and read the whole deleted scene on Substack. Link in bio.

#readersofinstagram #scifibooks #firstcontact #drama #unplaceablefiction

Seeing 11:11 is supposed to be a sign. A wake-up call from the universe. An indication you're going in the right direction - one that aligns with your purpose. Thoughts are about to manifest into reality, so stay open.

I notice 11:11 almost daily, so I wove it into DUSK, having Theo believe it was a sign he was on the right track.

Everything happens for a reason. And your openness and awareness to the signals around you can transform your perspective.

We haven’t talked much about Seth, but he was a key character who held his own POV for the first few rounds of edits. I eliminated his POV (to many beta readers’ dismay) but didn’t want to lose him entirely, so I wove his voice and stories into Sagell’s chapters.

Through his letter exchanges with her in the epistolary segments of the book, and later, in person with his father during his older years, he shares the backstory and trauma about growing up as a hybrid (half alien, since his mom drank the water but his dad, Theo, is a Puritan). Unfortunately, Seth doesn't always feel heard by his father, especially in this scene.

For many beta readers, Seth was their favorite character. Check it out. Link in bio.

It’s the last in the series of 7 microfiction readings (for now)! This piece was inspired by a trip to Costa Rica in April, where the sun rose and set at almost the same time every day. Exploring the Pacific Coast was one of my favorite parts, and I let my imagination run wild dreaming of an extravagant cliffside party with secret access from a cove. Liir snakes his way through the jungle to seek revenge for his father’s incarceration, armed with tactical skills and a cunning disguise. But when he arrives, he finds something he didn’t expect…

Tomorrow I’ll post the prompt for December’s microfiction to inspire you to join us on Substack and write something short and sweet. Maybe I’ll read it aloud at the end of December!

Tonight’s reading was written by Brett Huggard, a contributor to the Unplaceable Fiction community on substack and a serial microfiction author (two months in a row!). It is an interesting take on that same image and microfiction prompt from October.

Several summers ago I went cliff jumping at Presque Isle Park in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I watched others jump into the icy, clear Lake Superior, and stared at the drop for a while before plunging in. I jumped three times before the tingling and numbness set in and I had to warm up in my winter jacket. Along the way to the jump point was this sign, ‘keep out,’ which seemed like the perfect image for a Halloween-themed microfiction prompt.

Tonight's microfiction reading is inspired by that day, and the pure adrenaline that rushed through me as quickly as the frigid water temperature.

Last fall, my sister and I ventured to Iceland for a long weekend and found ourselves standing in a historic town between waterfall hikes. This picture was taken within one of the historical buildings, and I was so enamored with the color and wearing of the wood, I had to use it in a prompt!

Tonight's microfiction reading is inspired by the southern coast of Iceland.

In August, my family and I ventured to the northeast on a hiking and waterfall-jumping adventure. We stayed in a house in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where morning fog eventually lifted, exposing an expansive view of seemingly never-ending mountains. While you knew those mountains were out there, the fog cloaked the yard in mystery and intrigue, even our hosts’ gorgeous garden filled with rich summer colors, which inspired the prompt for August’s microfiction.

ICYMI, I’m reading microfiction stories this week written by me and members of the Unplaceable Fiction community on Substack. Tonight’s microfiction was written by me in response to my August prompt. Over the next two days, I’ll post readings from subscriber microfiction posts from the August prompt!

It's time for some storytelling! Tonight through next Saturday, I'm reading aloud one microfiction piece each night: stories written by me and by members of the Unplaceable Fiction community on Substack.

Each evening I'll post a video of a single story. Some will be mine, some will be subscriber submissions from previous months. Microfiction is meant to cleanse the mind; it’s a way to take a common prompt and spark creativity.

Each month I post a prompt on the Unplaceable Fiction Substack: an inspirational picture and starting sentence. It’s up to you to finish the story using up to 300 words. I'm excited to share these stories with you—to give them a voice, to celebrate the quirky and unplaceable work happening in this community, and to show you how much fun and creativity we can have with 300 words or less.

Faced with options, Theo must choose: start a new life on another planet with the woman of his dreams, or remain rooted to his familial commitments on Earth?

DUSK is about the choices that define us—and haunt us across lifetimes. A dynamic exploration of relationships for today's family-oriented holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🍂

What's your job as a writer? To satisfy every reader's desires? Or to provoke thought that sometimes leaves things unsaid, planting a seed that grows over time, like a strong itch whose fate is clear.

Readers, do you always prefer a happy, crisp ending? Or, as is reflective of life, are you comfortable enough to enjoy an open, sometimes unsatisfying closure?

My hands shook as I started. I'd completed the background blue of the canvas a month or two ago then let it sit in the corner, avoiding every impulse to finish it.

This wasn't a digital product, not something that could be easily overwritten. There would be one chance to get it right. I knew what I wanted: an octopus. Not cheesy, not graphic. Subtle, classy, and mysterious were the target traits.

So when my daughter asked me if I wanted to paint last Sunday, I said yes. It was time to dive in headfirst, to be fearless, and to spend time together in a meaningful way... creating.

Studying the completed painting, Scarlet is a reflection of me in ways I hadn't anticipated. Her tentacles flow in crimson waves like Ariel's hair, my favorite Disney princess growing up. She emerged red like Aries—my sign—when I expected her to be more orange. She is quiet with flair: extraverted and present, yet able to disappear into her own space. She is constantly moving, flowing, adapting to her environment, yet easily fades into the dark.

This is the beauty of art, of humanity. We can create threads of unexpected connection, of deep meaning.

Yes, it took 3 hours on Sunday afternoon. But isn't that what makes it valuable? Someone spent their most valuable currency to produce this: time.

One of my favorite deleted scenes I had such a hard time letting go of is the engagement between Faith and Jason, which originally sent Theo reeling at the end of Chapter 1 and catapulted him toward the inciting incident.

Faith was his work crush, and she is still present in the book to the astute observer. Jason was their boss, and soon I'll share another deleted scene between Theo and Jason.

For tonight, enjoy this clip showing the raw emotion Theo experiences after witnessing the unthinkable: his love, swept aside.

One North Quay is a real life sciences building being constructed in London right now, set to open in 2027.

It provides a key setting for DUSK, where science rules. I visited Canary Wharf a year ago in London, when I was in final stages of edits on the book, to draw inspiration and get in the zone.

Enjoy this quick preview of this amazing building!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars on Amazon.
🎥📽️🎬🍿🎟️ Time for the big screen?

I am so grateful for my readers, especially the ones who leave feedback! Nothing is quite as exciting as seeing people internalize the messages you hoped would land, then shout about it to the world.

The latest review on Amazon is from someone who usually doesn't read sci-fi but loves sci-fi movies. But s/he was captivated after Chapter 1 and even said s/he might re-read the book!! Also said s/he would love to see DUSK becoming a movie, which is my secret dream.

If it does, I'm looking for After Yang vibes meets The Martian meets Don't Look Up. Let's connect, #hollywood.

🔥 Hot take: Every time you say 'please' to an LLM like GPT or Claude, you're using extra energy and water in data centers.

♥️ Counter-take: Practice being polite or you'll become a monster to actual humans.

Politeness vs. Efficiency: which side are you on? Vote below.

Thanks to @the.bookscore for the inspiration for this debate! Stay tuned for a few more of these AI debates in a mini-series over the coming weeks. There's so much to discuss (with myself?)! Jokes aside, I'd love to hear your comments.

#aicommunity #AI #manners #environment #debate #unplaceablefiction

Each scene, each line should have multiple meanings. Hidden messages. Best way to put this into practice? Live life the same way. Achieve multiple goals simultaneously.

🏃‍♀️Body: Run 10k
💡Mind: Craft strategy
💕Heart: Smile and wave at 12 people

📑Outcome: 2 waved back and 1 smiled back among a minefield of otherwise blank stares. I guess 25% ROI is better than 0%.

P.S. I checked one of the free little libraries where I placed a free copy of DUSK, and it is gone!!! 🎉🔥📚📖✒️

I wrote DUSK with the goal of captivating an audience around something we can all relate to: balancing family and personal ambition, while inspiring people to think more deeply about our collective future.

To make the story relatable and avoid the typical stigma of sci-fi/ first contact, I drew inspiration from Kazuo Ishiguro, Jennifer Egan, Emily St. John Mandel, and Sarah Pinsker.

I'm delighted that Kirkus saw that most important element in the work: the family dynamics between Theo, his mom and sister, the flashbacks with his dad, and, later in life, his robotic caretaker, Sagell and his son, Theo. Capturing these different POVs with their unique goals, motivations, conflicts, and stakes was my favorite part of writing this book, so I hope you enjoy it.

#Voyager 1 launched on September 5, 1977, and a couple of years ago started sending some weird messages back to #NASA: rows of zeros or the number 377.

Naturally, believing in signals, I had to dig into this and work it into the book. Come get nerdy with me for a minute and see how I used this to emphasize the vibes between Anna and Theo.

Deleted scene #1: Anna & Theo at Honeys Cafe in Austin, Texas, discovering a barista with his head under the espresso machine, sucking every last drop up with a straw.

I deleted it because I needed to get them to Johnson Space Center (a 3-hr drive from Austin) ASAP after Anna attacks Theo in a park, so I had them talk and drive. But I seriously love this scene and want to share it with you. While the wacky barista makes their coffee, Theo and Anna exchange some witty remarks. I skip that part in this read-along to focus on the barista, who is a hippie-surfer-Austin-extraordinaire who Anna later suggests is on more than caffeine.

But it toys around with some quantum physics, introducing themes that weave their way throughout the book.

This little snail was on my sidewalk last week and I snagged a close-up of it. It reminded me of this passage I wrote in DUSK:

"...the Helix Nebula is almost seven hundred light years away. There’s no way the Golden Record is anywhere near that yet.” - Theo to Anna, in DUSK.

She debates with him while he metaphorically compares Voyager 1 to a slug, suggesting its speed at 38K MPH is impressive, but not on the scale of the universe.

#sciencefiction #scifibooks #voyager #space #stem #unplaceablefiction

What do you think of the $38B deal between OpenAI and AWS this week? Are we ready for what's coming?

Here's a quote from DUSK, during a contemplative moment where Theo reflects on his behavior and the lesser qualities of humans.

But in the end, innovation drives us forward. Inventions brought us to this moment, and will send us soaring into the next era.

What do you think? Is chasing the next unknown a bad thing? What about if it sacrifices the good of the greater whole?

It's early days for humanoids and sentience, but make no mistake, they're coming. This is why I write.

This LLM had a comedic adventure as its robotic body died, unable to find the charger. The doom spiral was entertaining, to say the least, with a glimpse of philosophical contemplation. Enjoy the read, but also, let's start talking about this more. My next book is focused on questioning whether sentient humanoids deserve rights, and you got a hint of that theme in DUSK too.

Want to know which Amazon ad copy sold more books? I ran an experiment, and there was a clear winner. 📚

I used A/B testing on Amazon Ads to test two different ad messages on Amazon - same book, same budget, same targeting. The ONLY difference? The words I chose for my 150-character ad copy.

The results? One ad crushed the other (we'll get to that).

This week's series:
📍 Today: What is A/B Testing (you're reading it!)

While NASA targets the 2030s for their first crewed Mars mission, SpaceX is aiming to land humans on the Red Planet as soon as 2029-2031, with robot scouts going first in 2026. The race to Mars is heating up, but massive technical challenges remain before humans can take that historic first step.

Still, it was fun to think about Mars as an escape vector in DUSK, and I researched real training missions happening at Johnson Space Center as inspiration for Theo's father's space obsession, which ultimately brought about his demise.
