Something is changing at Bloggyness. We’d love your thoughts

We’ve been quietly reflecting on the future of Bloggyness and how we can continue to create reflective essays, scrap-posts, and mental health musings while keeping the site ad-free, thoughtful, and accessible to all readers.

We’re considering introducing optional ways to engage, but before anything goes live, we want to hear from you.


What’s Already Free

  • Essays, reflections, and posts remain fully free
  • No newsletter, no ads, no hidden paywalls
  • All content remains accessible as it has always been

Your free reading experience will not change.


Optional Ways We’re Considering

  1. Supporting Readers Tier
    • Extra essays and reflections each month
    • Early drafts and in-progress writings
    • £6/month or £60/year (optional, cancel anytime)
    • Designed for those who want to explore Bloggyness more deeply
  2. “Ask for a Reflection” Micro-Payments
    • Submit a question or topic and receive a reflective written response
    • Quick thought, short reflection, or deep dive
    • Optional payments (£3–£25 depending on depth)
    • Reflective writing only, not advice or therapy

Why This Might Happen

  • To sustain Bloggyness independently while keeping it ad-free
  • To offer ways for readers to engage personally if they wish
  • To support the creation of more essays and reflections without affecting free content

Questions for You

We’d love your guidance on:

  1. Would you be interested in a Supporting Readers tier?
  2. What types of content would make a membership truly valuable for you?
  3. Would you try the “Ask for a Reflection” option?
  4. How much value would you place on early drafts or behind-the-scenes reflections?
  5. Would you like us to include exclusive prompts or interactive exercises?
  6. Any concerns about introducing optional payments while keeping free content intact?
  7. Is there anything else you’d love to see from Bloggyness in the future?

Your feedback will help us shape Bloggyness in a way that suits our readers, while ensuring the core content stays free, open, and accessible.

Slowly considered. Carefully written. Always optional.

“In addition, later in February, we’ll be opening the Gwenin Reflective Community, a calm, welcoming space to share reflections and projects, entirely optional to join.”
