We're well on our way now then! We have a list of fabulous writers signed up and it really feels like the Big Bang is off the ground properly and shaping up for another great year :)

As we know that some of our writers will be in varying stages of the 'ARGH what have I signed up for???!!!!' process, I bring useful resources for kick-starting those little plot bunnies into action:

Plot Bunny Generation and Adoption Centre - all you need to know about those pesky bouncy critters, and how to tame them...

Writers Plot Idea Generator - with links to handy tips on naming your original characters, plot twist generator and a first line generator.

The Really Random Plot-o-Tron (does what it says on the tin *g*).

The 33 Most Important Bunny Gifs on the Internet. Because...bunnies, right?

And if you need further motivation - just look at this little chap, patiently waiting for your story to start.

Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s check in post.

The deadline for the writers sign up is getting closer and closer, in fact under a week now, so I thought I would start by sharing the links to the sign up posts:

Writers sign up post

Beta sign up post

Cheerleader sign up post

And a quick reminder that we will be opening the artists / vidders sign ups in May.


Next I have a few links go you that I thought would be useful / fun / distracting :).

And to start with as I like to link them each year here are links to a few word count meters like this one:



Writertopia: writing meters, Progress Bar, and NaNoWriMo Word Meter

Next links to a few articles / web pages that I liked:

Creative writing inspiration pinboard

Free creative writing eBooks

The 90 top secrets of bestselling authors

31 ways to find inspiration for your writing


And lastly, as always, please chat about anything you like, ask us questions, and let us know how we can talk bribe you into signing up. *waves pom poms*

Welcome to the first weekly check-in post of the Professionals Big Bang, 2014!

If you haven't signed up yet, don't worry -- there's just under two weeks left for you to sign up as an author, and artist signups haven't even opened yet. But if you have signed up to write, thank you and welcome! There's quite a while yet to go, but it doesn't hurt to get thinking (or writing!) early!

So, how's it going? Got any ideas? Or, perhaps, have you started writing?

Feel free to share in the comments!
