Gushing about your girlfriend is a great way to show your family and close friends how happy you are. A little bragging can be especially helpful when you introduce your girlfriend to your inner circle or tell them about her for the first time. For example, try saying, "I can't wait to introduce you to my new girlfriend. She's smart, down to earth, and I can't remember being this happy." Bragging just for the sake of it can seem boring or unnecessarily boastful. Try to sing your girlfriend's praises by telling an interesting story that naturally relates to a conversation. For instance, if you and your friends are talking about basketball, you could slip in, "You know, Rachael was an all state forward in high school." Try recounting the time she came to your rescue when you were stuck in a crazy situation. If you met in a funny or unique way, tell your friends about it. It's always nice to hear how proud your partner is of you. Bragging about your girlfriend in front of her can help remind her how special she is. When you and your girlfriend are out to dinner with friends or visiting your parents, try mentioning her recent professional accomplishment or how she's become such a pro at her new hobby. Everyone has friends who fill up their social media feeds with mushy, boastful posts about their partner. Try to keep in mind that your significant other isn't so significant to everyone on your social network. Posting pictures of you and your girlfriend on a trip is one thing, but daily oversharing on social media can put too much emphasis on how other people perceive your relationship.

summary: Let your inner circle know how happy she makes you. Tell a good story instead of bragging out of the blue. Don't forget to let her hear you brag about her. Try not to brag too much on social media.

Active characters are more interesting and relatable than passive ones. The protagonist in the series should be motivated and make decisions, for better or worse. They should be active participants in the plot and their decisions should affect the action in the book series. Your main character will sustain you, and your readers, through the length of your series, so make sure it is someone who will not wear out their welcome. Your protagonist will be viewed as a member of your readers' family or a close friend. Readers will care about what happens to them. For example, you may have a main character who is a teenage high schooler who wants to win a spelling tournament at their school. This way, your protagonist is motivated by the need to win. To make your protagonist feel relatable and believable, give them a backstory. Backstory is a character's past actions or experiences. It usually affects or informs their behavior in the present. For example, your character may have an addiction or a divorce in their backstory. This can make them seem more real. You may have a protagonist that have a difficult childhood or that has struggles with their identity or their sexuality. Keep in mind that issues like an addiction or a medical condition will need to ring true throughout your series. In other words, you can't have your character obtain a "miracle cure" if you're tired of writing about this problem by the third novel. If your main character is an adult, they may have a specific profession. If your main character is a child, they may be occupied by going to school or by living at home. Decide how your main character occupies their time day to day and add this to their backstory. One option is to go for a profession where your main character can interact with a variety of people. This will increase your ability to create new problems for your character to solve that relate to their job. For instance, your protagonist could be a hair stylist who continually finds himself drawn into the mysteries and personal lives of his clients. Or, she could be a corporate lawyer whose expertise in white collar crime makes her sought out by the police for help on new cases. If your protagonist ages throughout the series, make sure they also develop their skills and perceptions as they age. Their relationships with others should also deepen and shift as they get older. For example, maybe your main character has a best friend that they grew up with and are still close to. This relationship could then be central to their life and affect their decisions or experiences. Their best friend may turn out to be a con man, for example, which will complicate the main character's relationship to them. Regardless of whether you're writing a long-term mystery series or a science fiction trilogy, your protagonist will encounter recurring characters throughout your series. By giving these characters the attention they deserve, you will be able to surround your protagonist with a interesting ensemble. Minor characters are a useful way to introduce personalities that can challenge or work against the main character. Recurring characters can also be used to offer occasional comic relief if your main character is typically involved in solving grisly murders. Maintaining consistency throughout your series is one of the most important jobs you will have as a series writer. To assist you with this, create a character bible that includes information on ages, birthdays, physical characteristics, personality types (such as nervous habits or annoying behavior), and back stories of each character. Remember that characters you introduce in the first book will probably play a role in subsequent titles. For instance, if your main character is divorced with two children, those children will have to play some role in future books. Family trees can also be useful for keeping track of the extended family of your main character. It is useful to keep your character information all in one place, either in a notebook or on a spreadsheet.

summary: Make the main character active and likeable. Give your main character an interesting backstory. Determine your main character's occupation. Create deep personal relationships for the main character. Develop compelling minor characters. Keep a character bible.
