About

The goals when first discussed before Christmas 2018 were simple in concept. Actively search the world for unique voices and points of view and deliver those viewpoints through the medium of short stories. Then everyone started to really think about what that meant. The modern journal, regardless of which country it is published, is seeking at all times the absolute best writing and they set out to deliver just that, but few, if any set the task of seeking out different voices and accepting their original tone and inclination away from perfection in the literary sense. A grand goal indeed, but can it be delivered? The Blend wants to stand for its name completely not just artistically. An artist can blend colours expertly where a child would simply run them altogether while enjoying the magical rainbow flow. The approach by The Blend is to be like a child and allow those different colours and textures to influence the emotional state and allow the imagination to not only be challenged but be enlightened.
