Read freely. Stay curious. Support gently (if you want).

Bloggyness has always been free to read essays, scrap-posts, wandering thoughts, and the occasional carefully placed mischief.
That’s not changing.
But some readers have asked if there’s a way to stick around a bit closer, support the work, or explore what happens behind the scenes.
So this is that door. Open. Optional. No pressure.
What subscribing means (and doesn’t mean)
What it means
- You’re supporting slow, mental-health-aware publishing
- You’re helping sustain thoughtful, high-quality content
- You may get early access to certain posts or extras (optional perks)
- You’re supporting a space that values curiosity over clicks
- You’re encouraging content that isn’t dictated by algorithms or trends
What it doesn’t mean
- No paywalls on existing posts
- No newsletter inbox obligations
- No algorithm chasing
- No obligation to stay; you can leave at any time
Subscribe because you want to, not because you’re locked out.
Supporting Readers
- Extra essays and reflections
- Access to writing that doesn’t quite fit the public feed
- Early drafts, half-formed thoughts, and margin notes
- Occasional “this one’s not for everyone, but maybe for you” pieces
Think of it as: the slightly messier notebook sitting next to the published one.
£6 per month / £60 per year – cancel anytime.
Not ready to subscribe? That’s perfectly fine.
You can still:
- Read everything publicly for free
- Wander quietly, at your own pace
- Come and go as you please
And if you’d rather engage just once, instead of monthly… You can do that too.
Ask for a Reflection (pay-what-fits)
Instead of, or as well as, subscribing, you can:
- Ask a question
- Share a situation
- Request a written reflection
You’ll receive a thoughtful, human response; not advice, not therapy, just careful reflection.
Prices are gentle and flexible: £3–£25, depending on depth.
Why this exists
Bloggyness is sustained by:
- Optional subscriptions
- One-off reflections
- Quiet support from people who appreciate the work
That support helps keep:
- The writing is free for everyone
- The tone honest and unhurried
- The pace is deliberately slow
- Mental health considerations thoughtful and careful
Still deciding?
That’s encouraged.
Read first. Linger.
Subscribe later or never.
Bloggyness will still be here, or contact us for more information.
