Fix it now. If you realize you made a mistake, go back and fix it now. _Not_, I stress, because the last 20K would be "wasted," because no writing is wasted, but because it's clearly blocking you and _you don't want to write it._ Carve off whatever pieces aren't going to fit and put them in a slush file. I like this method because it feels less painful than outright deleting, and because sometimes I can reuse or repurpose character beats or even specific sentences or phrases somewhere else in the book.
