It Wasn’t a Cult, but it Changed EVERYTHING!
Tiny Experiments, the book, and my experience with The Curiosity Collective.
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly brief focusing on art, inspiration, creativity, snacks, and joy.
Hello, my Salty & Sweet Honey Stilton Snacks!
Happy Tuesday!
I have so much good stuff to share with you today!
Most Importantly:
The next Sketch & Snack is this Wednesday, the 26th, at 6pm PST.
I’m really excited about the drawing prompt.
You will need a piece of paper. 8.5x11 works—the back of junk mail, a piece of printer paper—nothing fancy unless you want to be fancy, in which case, by all means, please be fancy!
A pen—some colors might be fun (markers, crayons, or colored pencils), but one pen or a pencil will be just fine.
(Reply to this email to RSVP, and I’ll send you the Zoom link!)
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
But, sadly you must wear pants, please.

It Wasn’t a Cult, but it Changed EVERYTHING!
Tiny Experiments and my experience with The Curiosity Collective.
I've been a subscriber and fan of the Ness Labs newsletter for over a year and have shared various articles with numerous people because I find each issue new and brain-tingling.
The newsletter author, Anne-Laure Le Cnuff, has been chronicling the writing of her book, “Tiny Experiments,” and I've been looking forward to its release for quite some time.
As part of the book launch, Anne-Laure created the Curiosity Collective. A place where curious people could gather and learn. There was a short application process and a month-long commitment to become a collective member. Being part of this group meant you received early access to book excerpts to create and execute a tiny experiment in real-time with 300 others.
The group dynamic was fantastic. It was made up of curious people from around the world interested in learning in public, experimenting, and cheering each other on!
The format for the month was as follows: …
MY CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK
Green grapes, manchego cheese, and almond crackers!
Timeless.
GLIMMER HUNTING…
I finished this book over the weekend.
The series is a solid 3.8/5. It's comforting and cozy, the characters are lovable, and there are dragons, mages, and so much tea! And I've just discovered there will be a fourth book in the series! Yay!
And also the dedication in book two - GOLD!
I'll buy everything she writes from now on just to read her dedications.
-The dedication in Rebecca Thorne's
A Pirate's Life for Tea" reads:
"To the people who gave me one-star reviews because the first book 'had lesbians.' I doubled the lesbians in this one. Just for you."
