The Seven Stages Of Proposal Writing
1. Hope.
Oooh, a chance! Of money to pay for my excellent, challenging, innovative, inclusive, multi-media, kinetic work.
2. Denial.
‘I don’t really care about the money. (Liar, liar – that burning smell? It’s
your pants.They’re on fire.)
3. Procrastination.
I haven’t done the Excel spread-sheet budget. But you could eat your dinner off my kitchen floor, and my books are filed alphabetically.
4. Exhaustion.
Sudden invasion of work, paid or unpaid. I can’t do this proposal. I just don’t
have time.
5. Doubt
– this proposal is rubbish. It’s pants. It’s terrible. It's really grim.
6. Submission.
The trauma and self doubt that follow pressing ‘send.’
7. Acceptance.
Hooray! Yay! I can do my project! Or
not. See- ‘rejection.' See also - tears.
Don’t let this happen. Share your proposal with – we could
make it happen.
