Hello all you Wild Riders out there! It’s time for another Use Me and Abuse Me Day! Yep. It’s that special day when you can use my blog to meet some new writers and make some new friends.
Go through your posts and pick one you think the guests might enjoy. Paste ONE link (URL), in my comment section. Feel free to include a short “hook” to entice other partiers to come to your place (blog). If you have a book to sell, go for it!
That’s when the party begins. As others post their links, peruse the guests and check them out. Click on their links. You may meet a writer you’re not familiar with. Say hello! Introduce yourself. Tell them Susie sent you.
This is a great opportunity to make some new friends and follow a few new blogs. Hey! Maybe they’ll follow you back!
This is my way of thanking all of you Wild Riders for coming by and reading. Because you are the best, I have spared no expense. I set up the bar, the never-ending fresh appetizers, the deluxe coffee maker and delectable desserts. Everything is calorie-free and on the house! All I ask that you consider following my blog.
Remember that no one with any sense comes to a party, fills a huge doggy bag and leaves. If you leave a link, click on a couple.
The party should rock right through the weekend. Now run along and mingle!
Susie Lindau's Wild Ride 
Hey Susie – my first time at your party 🙂 Thanks for the wild ride – I love your posts! The link I’m leaving is my response to your Father’s Day post back in June (it’s Father’s Day in Oz this weekend). You asked about my ‘amateur inventor’ Dad…(which might have been a bit of a ‘furphy’ – Oz slang for an ‘unreliable yarn’) 😉
