Short Story Contests discussion

The contest will be a short story contest (No Duh!) and the word limit will be 160 words. the topic is: the name Drake (i just did this cuz i was bored and ther just has 2 be a new contest for short stories)

Hey, could we possibly move this to the daily short stories? Just to keep everything clean in the folders :)thanks

hey sorry i haven't been on or updated the sire in ages, I just wanted to inform you that soon I will be leaving goodreads :( so a new website mod will be necessary. I will update the site and write out instruction as soon as I can, but starting high school is a little crazy.... i'll miss u guys when I leave! anyway, i'll see what i can do to prep the site over the weekend, it depends on HW and stuff... just a little heads up to you, clare.

isnt this in the daily short stories?

Guess if you'd message any instructions to my inbox Olivia I'll attempt it anyway. I love the work you do and appreciate your creating the web site.

A big snake named Jake had slithered into the garden. "Oh mommy!" yelled hesitatingly Drake. "It’s a snake!" instinctively he took a hold of a hoe and began chopping at it until it fled.
He ran into his house and saw a tall hideous woman turning a bid ladle with one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. When she turned her pot it sizzled and whooped in the kitchen air,
"where's my mommy? You’re not my mommy." Drake accused the witch looking ugly creature.
"No, but I turned her into a harmless garden snake, he he. I hope you can tell me what I need to know or I'll have to do the same to you." the witch said.
"What?" the boy said screaming back out of the kitchen to the garden.

haha i feel really stupid right now >.< it is the daily contest folder, and yes i have been getting very little sleep XD gosh i'm sorry! haa

random question: how does one take screenshots on a mac???

um you can try this...

Hold down the APPLE [Command:] and SHIFT keys
Press 3 for a screen shot of the entire screen
Press 4 to get a "Crosshairs" so you can select just a section of the screen you want a screenshot for.
Press the space bar after you press 4 if you want it to automatically size the screenshot so that it perfectly matches the window it's over. After you press the space bar, a camera icon should come up.
Know that the resulting file will be placed on your desktop, named Picture X.pdf for versions of 10.3 or earlier and Picture X.png for 10.4 and later (could also end in .jpg).
Press Esc to cancel.

thanks. sorry for the random q... but in a strange way it is related to the SSG site =P
