I would also mention, that a good tip is to be both the character and the storyteller. As Blank mentioned, you dont want to end up being a Gary Stu, but you also want to act in character. Sometimes its up to us as the author to introduce obstacles to our own characters, even failure. Its one thing to act in character but also be mindful of how the story is progressing as well. Its a fine line, but to write a good story, you have to be willing to screw your own character over. I wont say that you should do it at the moment, but keep an open mind for how things are progressing, and if it seems too easy, or like a cheap fix, introduce some variables, opposition, setbacks and the like. It can help turn an interesting story into an amazing and memorable one.
