I actually made some progress on 55. Not working late really helps.

Very little progress. A combination of working late and spending too much time examining my car stereo's wiring diagram.

Not a lot of progress on 55, work is still getting in the way. I hope I can start making progress soon, I want to get done so I can get onto the next revision. Then the contest will begin, cuts vs. expanding into scenes, will the word count go up or down. Will trying to better define characters cost words or not? Will trying to better establish the setting cost words or not, I really need to do it through scenes and little bits of dialogue so it has the potential to cost words. If word count goes up, I stick with the two-book strategy. If word count goes down, I revert to the one-book strategy. I shall see.
