Tl;dr: The best way to start writing a story is to start writing a story!

The process is different for every writer, so I would first ask you this question:

How do you usually plan any task that you have to do?

E.g. Your house needs cleaning:

Do you just roll up your sleeves and tackle the first thing you see?
Do you instead put your laundry in the washing machine, because that
will take time to complete and you could tidy your room in the
meanwhile?
Do you have a system of first clearing clutter from surfaces, then
cleaning the surfaces themselves before finally working on the
floors, because that seems the most logical approach?

My personal recommendation is to do the absolute minimum level of preparation before you can start writing.

Get used to the idea that the first story you write won't be great quality, no matter what your skill level is. You're going to go back and heavily edit your work anyway so don't sweat the mistakes or the sloppiness. Additionally, don't worry too much about the research or the word processor you're using - just get straight into writing.

Trust me when I say that you'll work out all the other details as you write. Conversely, you won't produce anything if you spend all your time planning and not writing.
