Raechel

4) Well...I'm almost always reading or writing, but I also love throwing my tomahawk/knives at my log target, and just being with my family.

5)I don't have a specific favorite kind of music really...is TobyMac a genre? XD I like upbeat, exciting Christian music.

6) None? I'm not into Marvel stuff.

Sierra

3) Again, I write all different genres. Probably fantasy is my "favorite". :)

4) I like drawing and... uh... wow I sound like a boring person. I don't do all that much besides read and write and draw. I love photography though.

5) Also depends on my mood... *hides* I'm not a consistent person. I just have a bunch of spotify playlists with groups of artists and bands together. Right now I'm listening to the TobyMac and Capital Kings one, but last week it was BarlowGirl, ZOEgirl, Addison Road, and Superchic(K)

Jesseca

1. Hi, my name is Jesseca Dawn. :)

2. My favorite genre to read would have to be historical fiction. It's awesome. ;)

3. And, my favorite genre to write would be historical fiction as well! I love all the research that goes into it.

4. Baking, cooking, reading, sewing. Or just spending time outside. ;) 

5. My favorite kind of music is movie soundtracks! They're the best! ;) Hymns tie with the soundtracks for a favorite, and contemporary is a close second.

 Are you excited? I am! And finally, last but not least, here is your writing prompt! The theme for this contest (and ultimately your story) is; Sacrifice.

In case the picture isn't clear for some reason, this is what it says.

Rules of War.

Rule #1: Good men will die.

Rule #2: Not even "Doc" can change Rule #1.

Rule #3: For his brothers, "Doc" will die trying to change both Rule 1 &2. 

You can use my prompt, any of the prompts that the other Judges have given, or you can combine them! It's completely up to you! However, please be sure you do include one of the prompts in your story. ;)
Have fun writing and I'm looking forward to seeing all your entries. :) \
