Quotes by Jill Hackett  (?)

“On criticism: When you choose voice, you know someone is not going to agree with you. There will be opposition, criticism. There are two ways to deal with criticism: either get a thick skin,
or a strong inner core. [p. 95]”
Jill Hackett, Women, Voice, and Writing : How to define, develop, and strengthen your writing voice

“Learning to crow: If we’ve been taught to credit our success externally and debit our failures to ourselves, we’re indeed in a bind. It is important to come to an authentic assessment of our talents and strengths, speaking from our center. [p. 91]”
Jill Hackett, Women, Voice, and Writing : How to define, develop, and strengthen your writing voice

“About play: Play is an important part of finding voice, because it allows us to try on new selves, like costumes, with sanctuary. We can pretend to be, pretend to write as if, without committing. And often play allows us to discover our authentic self. [p. 48]”

“About hard times: There is something about hard times that brings a choice: either resiliency and we grow and strengthen from it, or we give up and fold. Collapse can be a protective choice, when one needs time to heal and regain resources before resiliency can return. . . . And our voices get clarified by the scarring. [p. 74]*
from Women Voice & Writing / by Jill Hackett”
Jill Hackett

“On the athleticism of voice:
We have a myth that the Muse visits, like the tooth fairy, giving inspiration. This can of course happen, but in its own unique, unforceable timing. Until then, and to woo the muse, we need to sweat. [p. 77] from WOMEN VOICE AND WRITING”
Jill Hackett

“On choice: In any given situation there are three basic choices: Exit, Loyalty or voice. [p. 86] from WOMEN VOICE AND WRITING”
Jill Hackett

“On silence: Silence is an important language. Not speaking can be an intensely relational act.
… Repression is a kind of silence, and also shapes voice. [p. 23]
The silencer has power. The dominant culture defines what is spoken about, what is repressed. The effect on the non-dominant culture (in this case women or girls) is to learn the language of camouflage. She learns to disassociate from her own knowing and her own voice.[p. 50] from WOMEN VOICE AND WRITING”
Jill Hackett, Women, Voice, and Writing : How to define, develop, and strengthen your writing voice

“Inherited voice: Our inherited voice is handed down with the family furniture. [p 39]”
Jill Hackett, Women, Voice, and Writing : How to define, develop, and strengthen your writing voice
