What a relief!! That you didn't bill the $1K that I thought you meant. You
may find an even better budget form. I use a budget form to help me think
through a project in the proposal preparation stage. Then I go back to it
frequently as the project becomes better defined. It is still a good tool
to make sure I am taking into consideration all of the ways the project will
be affected in pre-production, production, and post. It is too easy to
forget stuff and incur costs of time, goods, and services that nickle and
dime your reasonable and legitimate profits away.
