What Cheer's town museum, an Etch A Sketch, a pinball machine, champagne on a racecar driver, Midwestern anger, Rule 5.09(b) 2, a three-legged puppy, a manhole cover, and the "O" in Cougars.
I knew I was going to love this. I’m thinking ‘Field of Dreams’ meets ‘The Wizard of Oz’ ( and of course my previous suggestion, The Karate Kid), and I absolutely love all three. Though I haven’t quite figured out all of the characters yet.Phineas might be a version of Alice, Reginald the Tin Man, hmm, Tripod has a bigger part to play than Toto did, and Pinball , some lower life version of the Wizard, staging the big show with his bellowing voice . Thanks for making me laugh, Adam. My snow covered ‘playing field’ melted to rain , then the cold north winds have sculpted the outside world in ice. I was pouting this morning until I read Chapter 6.
And now you’ve made my day. I’m thrilled you’re connecting with it. It’s been a little slow out of the gate response-wise and bc this is novella-ish I’ve been biting my knuckles raw, worrying I’m tossing typed pages into the wind. Btw, you have the full cast now. You are free to assign characters.
Phineas is probably a munchkin in an expanded role. The Sleepmobile, the Tin Man. Pinball is the tornado. What cheer is a low budget Oz. Reginald the Straw Man. I’m not ready to cut off Toto’s leg. Alice is back in Kansas, sadly. Too hopeful for the writer. Not getting mixed up in any happy Rainbow Business. Hahahaha… yeah, right, Mr. Wizard.
Wait, after I thought I had everyone kind of figured out, now you’re mixing me up, I’ll have to write out my ‘cheat sheets’ to have ready for Chapter 7. Will there be a wicked witch making a guest appearance? Perhaps Pinball has a wife, or a neighbor that can’t stand him.
The difference between who he is and who he seems like are his best part. I think you can make both cases, but in the end, let’s hope, he’s a tiny bit of each of us.
Hi Holly! I’m over here at the end of chapter 9, so l don’t want to give too much away. Tripod as Scarecrow? hmm , I’ll have to think about that one. I do feel essence of Scarecrow, a couple of characters have multiple personalities. Ooh, keep your eye on the Speedmobile. She could be up for an Academy award 🏆.

There are definitely kids that need to get off his lawn.
The whole cast is on stage now.
Lor! You’re brilliant. Is Tripod the lion? No. The scarecrow. 🌈

Indeed!

The Speedmobile is an absolute delight. Can’t wait to catch up.
She has no speed in her, but you can get a good night's rest in there. Holly, you might relate. (Sleepmobile)
“He once threw out a bleacher full of visiting team parents before they even showed up.” 😂😂
What Cheer (?) has so much to cheer about! I’m in the stands rooting for Tripod.
Pinball is a fantastic character! Glad he’s joined the cast. :)
