Quote

Seddig says of her writing process:

"I have a rough plot in my head, that's enough. At the beginning the characters are less clear, I actually only really get to know them while I'm writing. I know roughly what they're going to do, and that has to be right. But within the story With the development of a figure, the need for language and expression becomes greater and greater. At the beginning, you are still free to let a figure think, do or say something, but as the writing progresses, you define it more and more. "
