Now, get as much help as you can. Don't go it alone.
Get help *reading* it from senior colleagues & Research Office staff. Sounds weird, but experience really helps.
No strong criticisms? Look for faint praise – can be just as important to address.

First, shed the emotion. Write down everything you really want to say, then bin it.
The only emotion you want to convey is your enthusiasm for the project. (Try to do it without too many❗️s though 😇)

Your audience is 2 College of Experts members with "carriage" of your proposal, not reviewers who wrote reports.
Carriages have read proposal & reviews. What will *they* think is most important?
Don't have a tin ear. Not everything needs a response. Embrace good suggestions.

Edit. Get feedback. Repeat. A few times.
Leave it a few days. Come back with fresh eyes after reading your reports again. Enthusiastic? Addresses most important issues?
Give it to a friend/partner who knows how much this means to you. Can't detect other emotions? You're done.

There's a lot of "What if reviewer B said X?" questions you might have. This is why it's so important to get help from senior, experienced colleagues & Research Office staff.
