Today I skipped to a part near the end of the middle and pulled together bits from the GN version and the very, very first incomplete version where I was sketching out ideas. There are only a few scenes where I have material from both, so it gives me a spectrum of styles to play with.

I'm deeply concerned about the flow of this thing--about it being dull and slow and not at all interesting. However, unless some epiphany hits me, I don't see anything to do but press on and deal with that later.
