Why I Write
I write because too much of what we’re offered is safe, familiar, and forgettable.
Because stories shouldn’t feel like background noise.
Because uncertainty is more interesting than answers handed to us too easily.
My characters don’t always know what they’re doing—and neither do the people who love them. They make mistakes. They hesitate. They choose anyway.
I don’t promise comfort.
I do promise momentum, consequence, and the kind of adventure that asks something of the reader.
If you’re tired of predictable endings and ready to be surprised again, you’re in the right place.
— T.J. Schmidt
More to come!
When TV feels predictable, read something that isn’t.
