Another, different kind of recommendation. I was always a pantser, but this book I've used Contour (for iPad) to work from brainstorming into a firmer sense of where my plot is going, what my beats are, what my characters' journey is. I was a bit cynical about it, but actually, the writing is going so much more smoothly once I have done the exercise, even though I'm not slavishly following it. I know where I'm going, so i just let it all flow out and concentrate on character and dialogue.
There are so many different systems, but perhaps finding one that works for you and working your way through it will help you stay focussed.
