Evolution of Adventure My generation has grown up with technology. Technology changes the way we look at things. I have personally always loved adventure. When writing as a child, an adventure meant running as far as I could into the woods before dinner time. Now an adventure can be as simple as googling a location I wish to visit and taking a virtual tour. As technology has advanced my ideas toward adventure have also evolved.

I rode my first airplane and my idea on adventure changed. I spent two weeks going between Alaska and Canada. My eyes were opened to just how different North Carolina is from the rest of the world. I began writing about long distance trips and the sights my characters saw as they looked out the window of their Delta Airline plane. The lines to have baggage checked and the old lady that seems to have one thousand pill bottles in her bag. I wrote about the nervous feelings that come along with traveling across country and the motion sickness as the flight took turbulence. The feeling of finally landing.
