Just put the confrontation at the beginning of the book and tell the story nonlinearly

probably. there's nothing to suggest that writing needs to be linear.

Nonlinear storytelling doesn't really work with the kind of book I'm writing.

Don't roadblock your creativity, anon. As long as it is indeed actually being written, it doesn't matter how you approach it.
