I'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're averaging 5 hours of broken sleep per night.

I don't care if you'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.
