Confused about how to proceed...

The last meeting was a bit confusing for me. I tried to make the adventure as open to change as possible and during the game I tried to avoid from manipulating or guiding your actions and choices. From what I understand most of you enjoyed the game, no? Well, there were a few points that bothered me. First, I felt a lot of the time you were running around in circles without a lead. Second, I felt that a lot of the campaign built-up potential was blown out all at once on scenes that potentially could be more fun or more dramatic. As a result of some of these 'premature ejaculations' my overview of the campaign is a bit messed up.
I'm in a dillema about how to continue with the campaign:
On one hand I feel like some of the best climaxes are a result of storyplanning and direction.
On the other hand I realise you enjoy this freedom. I also know that in a way we cannot go back to what it was before. However I'm not sure I can make the story come out as great as it did (in my eyes) until now... but I suppose the only thing better than perfect is... free :-)
Looking forward to you comments (Hebrew or English, doesn't matter).
