Setting Outline.



     There is basically two settings. The Ford boys are from  Marlinton WV. That setting is a bit difficult to tackle considering I've never been there. Fact I hadn't even heard of it til I started this Project. I looked up a few pictures and this is what I found.
 This looks like Town square, maybe. I think I can work it into the story. Talk about the old theater was Gray's favorite place for dates. Maybe mention how the whole town would get together and sing Christmas carols or how cool the decorations were on Halloween. I also found these pictures which I actually did research on.
















So This adorable building is a train station near the front of the town. It is so freaking cute I want to live there. I have decided this is Corbin's favorite place in the town and he would sneak out at night to meet boys there. Cute huh?

Sadly it burned down but the town plans to rebuild. I want to make the Corbin to be 
at the Station when the fire starts and him sobbing as he watches it burn down.

So since I don't know much about Marlinton I'm going to use it as the base for my town which will not be called Marlinton, just kinda like it and in WV. I don't want to end up like David Tennet in the Decoy Bride (basically his character writes a book about a place he had never been to and the whole island hated the book and it caused problems. (Good movie, you should watch it.))


Then Fallon and Harlan are from Hendersonvile. Again I don't really want to USE the name Hendersonvile for the town they are from but I want it to be like here. I know this place like the back of my hand but I don't want to change someones perspective of Hendersonvile based on my beliefs.



Disney Land is Disney Land. THE WHOLE BOOK IS ABOUT DISNEY LAND!! Well the trip to Disney Land and falling in love at Disney Land. Disney Land is important to this book. I think at this point that's a bit clear.



I want to talk about their individual trips. Every ones feelings and emotions while they're driving. So on so forth. 
I want to mention who's driving.
Who picks the music. 
How the other person feel's about the music playing.

I'm currently writing Corbin's first chapter. (Chapter four.) I think this is going really well.
