Make sure to write the year on it, as well as how old your child was.  This way, it keeps your photos together while looking even more like a special gift. This is a great way for your children to look back and see what they looked like when they were little and how much they've changed each year!

summary: On your baby's first Christmas, take them to get a picture taken with Santa. Each year, bring your child to the mall to take a picture with Santa Claus. Once your amount of photos starts to add up, put the photos in a special "Santa Album". Once your child becomes a teenager (or at whatever age your child stops wanting to take pictures with Santa), present your child with the photo album of all their pictures with Santa.

Often it’s as easy as making eye contact and smiling to get a girl to smile back. If it doesn’t work, keep trying, and you might get a smile yet. You might even try a sillier smile to see if it might make her laugh. Smiling is a good way to open up a conversation, because it makes both you and her happier. When you smile, it literally changes chemicals in your brain, making you feel happier, and smiles are catching. That means, when someone sees a smile, they want to smile, too, making them happier. Ask questions about her and what she likes. Find things you have in common. By discovering what you both like, she might see you in a different way than before. And she'll smile because it shows that you enjoy talking to her. It also sets you up with ideas of what to do in the future. You can also ask her about how her day/weekend went, how her classes are going, etc. Even if she had a bad day, asking her about it would show that you care. Everyone likes to hear nice things about themselves, and so, a compliment is sure to make her smile. The best compliments are sincere, which means you really mean it. Take a moment to study her, so you can tell her what you really do like about her. You don't have to stick to looks. You can also compliment her brains, her brilliant smile, or her sparkling wit.  For example, you could say, "The dress looks good on you!" You could also say, "You know, you're really smart! You always seem to have the right answer in class." Another option is, "You have the best hair! I love how wavy it is." Don't get too carried away. If she looks uncomfortable, then stop.

summary: Smile at her. Talk to her. Compliment her.

Some genres, such as fantasy, science fiction, and mystery, are more amenable to a series than others, like romance or commercial fiction. Decide whether your concept fits into the former or the latter.  Children’s and young adult fiction are other genres that are suitable for series building. Some publishers prefer fantasy series over individual fantasy novels, because fantasy series tend to sell better than standalone fantasy books. You will have to decide whether you are interested in writing one large story broken into several books, such as the Harry Potter series or a group of stand-alone books featuring the same characters, such as Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot mysteries. Making this decision will help you figure out whether you will plot each book separately, or whether you will try to have an overarching storyline between the books.  Did you just finish a novel and don’t want to say goodbye your main characters? Or, have you developed a fantastic plot that is so wide-ranging it needs to be told over several installments? The former motivation could lead to a long-running series, like a group of mystery novels, while the latter could lead to a trilogy.  You will also need to figure out whether you will have an ensemble cast that appears throughout the series, or whether you will primarily have a main character who meets new characters in each book. To help you plan out the series, create a writing timeline with deadlines and due dates. Determine how much time per week or per day you are going to devote to writing the book series. Have deadlines for completed chapters or for a certain page count so you are encouraged to complete the book series.  For example, you may have a goal page count per week that you have to hit. Or you may have a certain number of chapters you have to complete every month so you can get the book series done. You will need to be prepared to write and publish frequently as a series writer. Your audience will want to know what happens next to your characters. You also don’t want your readers to move on to other books or series if they get tired of waiting for your next installment.
summary: Choose a genre for the series. Consider the type of series you will write. Make a writing timeline.
