and when your attention isn't divided

References can highly date your work and also create an awkward moment for readers that don't understand the media you are referencing.

Have you tried allotting time for yourself when it comes to writing? Try asking a family member or babysitter to help with the child during certain days for a set time that is good for you.
Yes. My parents watch the kid two hours a day on most days. I have an editing contract I have to get through before I can get back to writing for myself. Some days, I don't have enough mental energy to edit. I open the document, stare at it, and close it because my brain is less than 80% there, and the author deserves more than that. She knows the situation, and I recommended submitting to other presses before I started working on it, but she didn't find one, and I liked it too much to say no, so yeah.
