It's been pretty quiet here the past few days. I'm still waiting to receive more written material from my client so that I can plug it into the proposal. Last I heard, he was getting on a plane to do some work in another state, but promised that he would also be doing a lot of writing. From the looks of it, we will be lucky to get one proposal done, let alone two or three.
It was bound to happen. Some "clever" person has set up a "Free Money Blog." He apparently sent out a mass mailing about it, and one of the people on his e-mail list was me. So of course I went to take a look at it. It's the same old stuff -- free money for everything, just buy the book. The blog hasn't shown up in Google yet, at least on the first five or so search results pages, but I'm sure it will hit the search engines eventually. No, I'm not going to give out the URL.
I'm leaving tomorrow for a long weekend in Williamsburg, VA, meeting up with some family members who are coming from in Florida. It will be nice to get away for a few days.
Got a couple of serious inquiries yesterday. One in particular interests me, since it's a USAID proposal. But the timing isn't good, what with my Williamsburg trip and my current project. I'll be e-mailing them back today to get more info on their needs and schedule. Perhaps something will work out.
And finally. As of yesterday, there were 300 subscribers to this blog. That doesn't seem too bad for the six months I've been blogging, and it doesn't include quite a few people who are subscribing through their rss readers. Actually, it's kind of surprising since I would have never thought that 300 people would be interested in reading about proposal development. Thanks, everyone.
That's it for today.
