wow 10-15 pages? I only go into that kind of detail when I'm turing in a treatment.
I love hearing everybody's process. It's all about the process for me. I try different approaches, but usually fall back into the familiar: character bios, general concept, tone (quite often the hardest thing to nail down), a couple of set pieces and then let it flow.
While writing I try to immerse my physical self into the setting as much as possible. I try to eat what my characters would eat, dress how they dress - a little insane, I know...at least the wife thinks so:D But these little bits of physicality can worm their way into your subconscious and provide you with a deeper insight into the characters you've created.
