Starting my own Superhero Universe from scratch with just a phone, passion, and big ideas! Need advice for a beginner.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been a massive fan of superhero lore and fiction for as long as I can remember. Recently, I decided to finally take the leap and start creating my very own fictional superhero universe!
Right now, my resources are quite simple: I don’t have a high-tech setup—just my smartphone, a wildly vivid imagination, immense passion, and a ton of fresh, creative ideas waiting to be put together.
Since I am starting completely from scratch as a writer, I would love to get some guidance from the experienced creators here.
- How do I actually begin organizing a massive world and its characters using just a phone? (Any app recommendations for writing/organizing?)
- What’s the best way to develop an origin story or a power system without making it feel like a carbon copy of Marvel or DC?
- What is the #1 piece of advice you wish you knew when you first started writing your universe?
I'm incredibly excited to dive into this journey. Any tips, brainstorming methods, or advice for a beginner would mean the world to me!
Thanks in advance! Let's build some worlds.
