Winterfat Writing Circle #2: Deconstructing Fate

An intuitive writing group for writers and readers to enter into their body and re-imagine their self-experience. Winterfat Writing Circle is a subset of [Winterfat Presse](https://winterfatpresse.blogspot.com/ "https://winterfatpresse.blogspot.com/"). Our goal is to create spaces where writers and readers can enter into their body and re-imagine their self-experience, particularly through dissident ethics our editorial team draws from authors like Audre Lorde, Gwendolyn Brooks, and June Jordan. **This writing circle's theme is: 'Deconstructing Fate,' based on the above June Jordan poem,** *I Must Become a Menace to My Enemies*. Each writing circle uses the same format, but addresses a different theme. We begin with brief introductions, and then collectively read a relevant piece of writing to the prompt, which our team crafts uniquely for each group. We review and discuss the prompt, then have individual writing time. This is followed by an optional open mic and shared reflection portion. Please bring a writing utensil, paper, and an open mind. The event will last around two hours, and includes sharing at the end. **We will meet in the side room at Fiction.** * **THERE IS NO ATTENDANCE LIMIT BUT MEETUP DOES NOT ALLOW US TO LIST MORE AVAILABLE SPACES. YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP!** If you have any questions, please contact [winterfatpresse@gmail.com.](http://winterfatpresse@gmail.com.*)

Unsettled Scores Fall season starts 9/9/26

Unsettled Scores is a not for profit, member-run choir where music lovers from all walks of life come together to rock out to the best of pop and rock. Based in NYC, we’re more than just a choir—we’re a creative community that welcomes everyone, regardless of musical experience, to express themselves through music. At Unsettled Scores, we believe that everyone has something unique to contribute. Whether you’re singing, arranging, directing, or even playing along, we encourage our members to get involved and explore their creative potential. It’s not just about singing, it’s about collaboration and having a great time doing it. We rehearse Wednesday evenings in midtown Manhattan for our vibrant seasonal concerts, special showcases, and exciting gigs across the city. Over the past years, we’ve brought our energy to events like the Make Music NYC, the NYC Marathon, and even opened for the former Staten Island Yankees. Interested in joining the fun? Reach out and let’s make some music together! Calling all sopranos, altos, tenors and basses! Do you want to take your shower concerts to the next level and singin harmony with a group of ambitious amateur singers? This is your chance! For the upcoming Fall/Winter cycle, Unsettled Scores is looking to recruit a few new faces and voices. We rehearse weekly on Wednesdays at a convenient location in Manhattan! We have a minimum of 2 performances per cycle, and do a bunch of fun social activities on the side. We’re an inclusive community choir focused on singing pop/rock music from the 1960s to now, with people from all walks of life. Chances are though, we don’t have one of you yet, so consider this your personal invite! If you dabble on an instrument on the side, that’s even better because we like to play with live music whenever we can! Please contact organizer for more details. "Audition' is only to determine where your voice fits in our choir. No stress! https://unsettledscores.nyc/ https://www.instagram.com/unsettledscoreschoir?igsh=MTluaHhuNGh3aTVxZw== https://youtube.com/@unsettledscores?si=YPQk85CGAm0FJTXx
