Isn't that "A Doll For William" from Free to Be You and Me?


Also, I wrote one somewhere around here.  I'll see if I can bump it.

<nods>  i just looked it up.  it's called "william's doll" - and was published in 1972!  i couldn't believe that.  it's pretty timeless.

looking for yours, too.

how's the idea coming along?  i've just begun reading through this forum, but i thought this an idea definitely worth pursuing.

i came across a kid's book one day that still has me thinking.  it's about a seven-year-old boy who wants a baby doll - and so he tells everyone he wants a doll, and his dad and brothers give him shit about it, and his dad buys him a basketball, and - in the end - it's like grandma explaining that the kid wants a doll so he can learn how to be a good daddy.  something like that.  this actually seems like the *opposite* of what you are trying to accomplish, to me ... like, you start out with this alternative reality and the explanation is that it's actually a "normal" reality, just done in a different way ...

i've thought of writing children's books, too.  my problem has always been not coming off too cliched or too symbolic/abstract ... so i'm really curious to see what y'all come up with.

fuck you, microdick

hunter, you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

twisting your rep.

and thank you.

are you going back on the rag soon, like tgrr?  (who i caught in a good mood, apparently, thank god)

The lexicon is your common sense.

thought so.

thanks.

was off balance for a minute.

but there are still these ... *words that have no vowels* i will be inclined to ask about.  but i'll just ask.

ignore this meandering.

i tend to just ramble when i care about something.

<shrugs>

srsly

or maybe i am being sarcastic, and prefer to ask questions as they come.

can you point me to the lexicon, btw?

um ... what's a tool box?

<noted>

i was seriously being sarcastic ... but tanks for thee ansewrs.

and stuff.
