Hello,
So I wrote approximately 200 pages in the past three weeks (!) only to realize that the story wouldn't work with the POV and structure I had started with.
I'm a pantser, usually, so in the process I learned what my story is ABOUT and was able to write a detailed summary of the entire book I want to write and have started anew.
Anybody else throw away a large amount of work once you realize what the right track is?
Please tell me I'm not insane for doing so.
