I& #39;m reading this thing about boosting daily word count, and the lady is lamenting not writing more words per day right on the heels of having a baby, and can I just say? No one should expect to be wildly productive when they& #39;re averaging 5 hours of broken sleep per night.

I don& #39;t care if you& #39;ve doubled the amount of hours you have to write. Babies take up an enormous amount of brain space, and not getting enough continuous sleep is literally used as a form of torture because it messes with your brain so much.

OF COURSE your word count sucks.
