#WritingTip: Creating what Joli Jensen calls a "ventilation file," a place where you capture all your negative thoughts about your writing, can help you work through the emotions attached to your project and overcome writer's block.
Excerpt from CMOS Shop Talk article, "Joli Jensen talks about 'taming' your writing projects."

CMOS: Describe the “ventilation file” you recommend. Do you see that as a temporary crutch or a lifelong tool?

JJ: The ventilation file has been a lifelong tool for me. Writing, no matter how much we like our project or use various productivity techniques, can trigger all kinds of emotional baggage. Having a safe place to write about the frustration, fear, hatred, doubt, and misery you are feeling about your project works like a magic bullet. Acknowledging—rather than suppressing or talking yourself out of—whatever project-related feelings are coming up helps them dissipate. The colleagues I advise in our Faculty Writing Program at the University of Tulsa know that they can spend their daily fifteen minutes “ventilating,” and they usually reconnect and find a way forward in the next few days.
