Question for Jim and others, “Yes or No, does the bear ever go away?”
Cathy Clamp:
I guess if you're considering the bear to be the part that tells you what you're writing is dreck and you'll never get better--I think that for a lot of us the best we can do is keep it caged. But we can't eliminate and, in fact, MUSTN'T eliminate it, because it's what keeps us growing as writers. Every book must become better, richer, stronger. Every sentence is more tightly worded and requires less editing by the publisher. My bear keeps me relevant and thoughtful about my work. It keeps me on my toes in a tough writing market. ;D
Torvaldr:
I don't have something that actively tries to discourage me. But there are plenty of times my muse seems to take a very prolonged vacation. Which is sometimes something of a relief. My muse is not gentle. When she says write she uses a 2X4 on me. That can be very distracting while driving. :)

"According to both fossil and DNA evidence, the polar bear diverged from the brown bear roughly 200 thousand years ago" - Polar evolved from brown, so pretty closely related.

Well why are we worried about global warming and the polar bear going extinct? We'll just bread a new one from the brown bear. I'm sure wikipedia has the correct dna sequencing and instructions on repeating the process.

And why worry about war and genocide? We can just breed more human beings from apes.
