Mission
Right now, things are good on the adult storytelling & writing scene, but not great. Writers and graphic novelists are putting out a lot of well-written, decent romance, erotica, and pulp that is satisfying “the market.”
But this site is made for people who want to do better than good enough.
It’s not just about getting published and on bookshelves — Adele Journal’s visitors aren’t only published authors or aspiring-to-be-published authors, but dedicated amateurs and fan writers who only care about delivering the most vivid, engaging story experience possible to the reader.
Adele Journal’s mission is to help people create imaginative story- and character-based entertainment for mature audiences. This isn’t a particular genre, though it includes romance, erotica, pulp, and horror; it is an aesthetic that can be carried out in any genre.
To do this, this site helps artists…
1) Reconnect with the basis of storytelling, which is LIFE and PEOPLE, not other genre fiction. Genre incest (or “literary circle jerks,” as Josh Lanyon puts it) is the death of imagination in art and entertainment.
2) Reconnect with the most powerful foundations of “damn good” storytelling. Lack of thoughtful and thorough research, design, and invention is the great weakness of adult fiction; it is what keeps most romance, erotica, and pulp from realizing its full potential as great entertainment outside of its genre.

Hi there! I’d love to help you out. I’ll try sending your an email on your Yahoo. I would call you, but I have a honking, croaking cold!
Which Chloe Valentine are you on Facebook? There are a number of them. Do you have long blond hair on your blurry profile photo?
