"I thought the traveller loved me." Tira strokes her green cheek pensively. "That day we danced together. Then he told me he had fathered 47 children because of his dancing."
"Is that when you realised he was false?"
"No, I thought I'd be a cool stepmum to 47 kids."

Anna's day at the spa seems the best time to propose. I almost jump when I see her in a gooey green face mask. She's hardly recognisable. I kneel before her and hold out the ring. "Will you marry me?"
"My dear boy! Yes! Yes!"
It's not Anna. It's Anna's mother.

This week for #BadWordSat there is no theme. I repeat no theme. Give me your best stuff because it's THEMELESS SATURDAY!

@sarahjbrowne You are very beautiful.

I checked out my Twitter and it struck what this week's optional #BadWordSat theme should be BAD JOKES!

Tira shows me the pink #fruit. "My own creation. My favourite colour. Now that I'm all green, this looks a more lovable object than me."
How do I respond to that?
"What's the fruit for?" I say finally.
"Fertility. Try some?"
She takes a bite and then holds it out to me.

Midnight. Tira and I bed down in her cave. She presses her green face to mine and whispers: "You've been running naked in my thoughts all day, warrior."
A reedy voice nearby. "Carry on. Don't mind me."
It's her imp familiar. He kills the mood. #SeducemeSundaywrite #SexySmutSunday

"Magic is real. The moonbeams of the Dark Goddess shine onto our world in random nexus points. Any girl bathed in her light becomes a witch. We must beware."
At that moment, my little Liddy comes running back from the garden. She's bright green!
"Mum, I'm magic now!" #SlapDashSat

[Jonathan Cope @JonathanCope17]

My hangover's terrible and my head throbs. She catches me as I stumble. I saw her last night, but in the light of day her green skin looks papery. She smiles. "Thank you for agreeing."
"To what?"
She shows a contract with my name. "To giving me a baby. Want to start?"

St. Paddy's Day is hoot but the next morning not so much. This week's optional #BadWordSat theme is WORST HANGOVER!

The widow glares at me. "What did I just say?"
"Um... Something about your second husband?"
"I said you look like my second husband. Don't you listen to me? Why am I paying you?"
Being an escort is harder than I thought. I can't even keep up with the #conversation! #vsshumour

[Jonathan Cope @JonathanCope17]

The witch holds up a glob of #mud. "This will keep your complexion gorgeous. You've got to be pretty for both of us. I'm not pretty or sexy." She touches her green cheek with her free hand.
What can I say? "No, um... no mud for me. And pregnancy makes your cheeks glow." #vss365

"#Intern!" A lady on the hospital bed calls me. "Help me please!" She scratches her face. "Oh..." she curses. The skin of her face is peeling off to reveal green scales underneath! "Help! I've got a date tonight."

I feel faint. "I'm just here to clean the windows."

Max comes up to me. She's carrying her green baby and she looks tired. She gives a wan smile. "How about that date?"
Better tell her straight.
"I'm not interested in a single mother with the ogre's baby."
Her blue eyes glint. "Well I never liked you!" she screams.

"He said men only love pure women untouched by magic!" The witch touches her green cheek. "He said I'm corrupt and that I'm a used object cos I'm not a virgin!"

"But you've got a hot warrior boyfriend now. Why'd you still care?"

"A year on, rejection still hurts!"

I'm about to query my latest work which brings back bad memories. Tell us about your rejections from agents and betas. This week's optional #BadWordSat theme is REJECTION!

"I'm working on my #exit strategy. I figure if I knock over the paper cart, pull the fire alarm, and spray the office down with the fire extinguisher, I can get away in the chaos."
"Damn. You really don't want to go to the morning pep meeting, do you?"
