Hey! I’m working on the final chapters of Cherchant and I’m feeling grateful and sentimental. I haven’t had a crazy amount of interaction with people regarding my story but I’m so so grateful to those of you who comment, vote, and message. You’re the best!
A little backstory about the name Cherchant. It’s the French word for seeking. My first tattoo at 18 years old was almost “Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent.” Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it. I thought it made a cool bar name, pairing nicely with a dose of sentimentality.
My first and only tattoo with words ended up being “Die of nothing but a rage to live.” From a poem by English poet Alexander Pope. Some yuppie a-hole at a backyard party made fun of me for it when I was twenty.
Like y/n I own a bar and also am an artist. All this to say, drawing on my own life to enrich a story in which I fulfill my greatest Kylo fantasies as been pretty awesome. <3
