When it comes to making characters, if you get a great idea, write it down on a sheet of paper so you don't forget it. Once you're done writing, walk away from the paper and do something else for awhile- don't think about your idea. This should help clear your brain up.

Once you feel ready, go back to thinking about your idea. Look at what you wrote of your idea. Think of things like, "Is this good enough? Should I expand upon it more? Is there a detail I should change?"

This should help with character development or creating new places (or even whole other universes). It's definitely not guaranteed, because everyone is different, but you never know.

And no, I'm not an expert.
