New Year’s Menu – Humble Pie

—

,

Okay, I thought I had a Chapter ready for New Year’s Day. But yesterday my editor returned my draft with so many comments and questions that it may take me another day or two to sort it all out.  There’s nothing like all those little red marks to keep a girl humble.

Notes to self:  Do not try and back into your story.  Don’t rush – these deadlines are self-imposed. Send thank you note to Mel. A good editor is worth her weight in gold.

Stay tuned.  It’s only a temporary delay.

Books, blog, writing, rewrites

      Thanks Alexandra for your words of encouragement! Don’t give up on your desire to write a book – some day you will acquire the patience and surprise yourself. That’s what happened to me. Happy New Year to you too!

      It’s an “acquired” taste 🙂 Happy New Year to you too! I once visited your lovely country. Not Zagreb but Rijeka (Fiume). I will have to come back, I hear great things about Zagreb.

I’m Catherine Larose — storyteller, traveler, and dweller in possibility.

For years I’ve been collecting stories in cafés, on trains, in airports, and around dinner tables.

Café Girl Chronicles is where I share reflections on connection, friendship, reinvention, and the people we meet along the way. Big moments may change the course of our lives, but it’s often the everyday exchanges—over coffee, conversation, and unexpected encounters—that become the stories we remember.

Those moments can happen anywhere. I’m simply looking for the places where they’re most likely to find me somewhere between life and latte.
