We have some news from across the Gwenin network. Bloggyness, our reflective writing corner, is considering optional new ways to engage, and we’d love your input before anything goes live.

We want to be clear: The Gwenin Exchange itself is not changing. Your curated resources, affiliate-supported offerings, and digital guides remain fully free and accessible.

---

What’s Free and Staying Free

• All Gwenin Exchange content remains open and accessible
• Free exploration, curated resources, and affiliate links continue as before
• No paywalls or subscription requirements

Your free experience will not be affected.

Optional Ways to Engage at Bloggyness

1. Supporting Readers Tier
   • Extra reflective essays and early drafts
   • £6/month or £60/year (optional, cancel anytime)
   • Designed for readers who want a deeper reflective experience
2. “Ask for a Reflection” Micro-Payments
   • Submit a question or topic and receive a tailored reflective response
   • Optional payments £3–£25 depending on depth
   • Reflections only, not professional advice

---

Why We’re Considering This

• To sustain Bloggyness independently while keeping it ad-free
• To offer ways for readers to engage personally if they wish
• To support the ongoing creation of reflective essays without affecting the free Gwenin Exchange resources

Questions for You

We’d love your feedback:

1. Would you explore the Supporting Readers tier for reflective content?
2. Would you try the Ask for a Reflection option?
3. What types of reflections or essays would feel most valuable?
4. Would early drafts or behind-the-scenes reflections appeal to you?
5. Any concerns about optional payments while keeping free content fully available?
6. Are there ways we could make optional tiers feel most useful or engaging?
7. Is there anything else you’d like to see across Bloggyness or The Gwenin Exchange?

Your guidance will help shape the future of Bloggyness while ensuring The Gwenin Exchange remains fully open, accessible, and free.

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.”
