Subscribe to Bloggyness

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.
