Some writing prompts for the new year

Instead of boring you with a list of books read in 2017, I’ll take a leaf out of the book of the Writers Write Book Reading Challenge 2018 and give it a little tweak. So here is a little writing prompt for the year ahead and those times when your creative inspiration has hit a wall.
 
Try writing a story (or a poem or an essay if you prefer) according to each of these guidelines:
 

1. With a main character from a completely different culture to yours
2. About a librarian
3. In a genre you never write
4. Situated in 1999
5. Situated more than 100 years ago
6. A children’s story
7. With a character’s name as a title
8. A story your mother would like
9. A story your father would like
10. With a protagonist who shares your first name
11. The first story of a television series
12. With a month or day of the week in the title
13. About books
14. A fictional memoir of somebody you respect
15. Set in summer
16. Set in winter
17. With a colour in the title
18. With a non-human protagonist
19. With a baker as the protagonist
20.  Set in two time periods

Have fun and Happy New Year!
 
PS: My award for the best book I read in 2017 is shared by Lost and Found by Brooke Davis and The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon, both with young girls as protagonists.
