The Name of the Bear

O creative namers, all of your suggestions were so good. Had I but world enough and time, I would dress my muse up in all manner of outfits and use each of those names for one day of the week. (E.g. Monday it's Sir Montmorency Montague; Tuesday it's Oso Inspired; Wednesday it's Bear Abel... etc.) But, lest my muse fall into an identity crisis, I feel I must pick one...

And the winner is...

Susan at Stony River with William Shakesbear (at least until my Shakespeare novel is FINALLY completed. I kid you not: I am on rewrite #6 and mulling whether to change from 1st person POV to third. Any of you in the trenches who have undertaken anything similar: how did it go for you?)

And now off to see if Mr. Shakesbear will compose me a sonnet.

This Bear Needs a Name!!

In my previous post, I mentioned the bear I won at the SCBWI-Oregon conference. When I thanked the bear's maker, Bob Griggs, for his workmanship, Bob told me that I had to name the bear.
This bear is going to be my muse. Those of you who are good "namers," please take a stab at giving him/her a suitable nom de plume. (As you can see, there's an actual plume to hand!)
