I ended up scrapping what I had done so far at the 11th hour and starting a new project completely. What I was working on originally was just too complex and experimental to be rushed. I plan to go back to it later.
So what I ended up with is this simple ternary track, with each section being a slightly odd number of bars. I continued on with my explorations of Massive, which is where most of the sounds come from.
Earlier this week, I listened back to most of my tracks from this year. Enough time has elapsed that this project has become sort of like a diary. I can look back and see when I was really into trying to make house music, when I was really obsessed with a particular synth or a particular compositional idea. Each track reminds me of what was going on in my life at that time. Some of the tracks that I was really quite proud of at the time, now make me cringe a little. It's not a bad thing, it indicates growth I suppose. What I am most happy with is my writing and how I develop musical ideas. What I need to work on is developing a sound palette that feels good in my ear holes.
I'm looking forward to using next year to focus on refining a few tracks and working on my live set, but I think I'll miss WB, especially this diary aspect of it.
