I plotted the crap out of my memoir, then wrote it accordingly. Once I finished and was ready to shape it into a manuscript, I “found” the arc and ended up cutting like 20,000 words and writing more. Good luck!
I am a total 'pantser' and I got it done. I didn't just get it done I felt good about it. Let it breathe... Let the words evolve... You'll find the right path. And a BIG hug just to say you're seen and supported.
Thinking about you, Tom. From one pantser to another, I am in exactly the same boat writing-wise. Need to tighten up the story and feel daunted that I have so far left to go. Nothing to do but enjoy the journey!

Happy to meet another ‘pantser’!! That’s good to know. It’s definitely evolving.
