NovelFirstLines was originally started as a sub-blog to my main account, so I could never follow anyone back.

Over the last few days I created a new NovelFirstLines specifically so I can return the favor and follow my followers.

At the new blog you will find the 274 posts of the original (re-blogged in their original order) and all new posts everyday.

There’s only a few of you, but it would mean the world to me if you’d follow the new NovelFirstLines too!

Thanks!

And BTW, requests are welcome!
