Forgive me my absence as I forgive yours. I have been working on my major project, which is scheduled for hand in on 05 August. I thought it was all going well, but now I can see it is total rubbish. I have chosen an all too predictable structure and as David Miller told us structure was everything, I can only presume my efforts so far total nothing. Send talent, inspiration and wine in equal measures. That is all.

Nonsense. You are an amazing writer, and I don’t think structure is everything :)
Is there a reason why you have chosen to illustrate this piece with an image of a pen writing ‘shits’?
