This is a fun question. Ok, here's my recipe.
Ingredients
1 part unlimited budget
1 character based on someone I've met
1 part anything goes
A pinch of genre relevance
I mix all that together and bake it in an idea for a few months then voila, script.

100 ideas, select the one that is best. Outline, and re-outline until the story is solid. 5 pages a day until it's done. 100 ideas for script #2, select the one that is best. All of the above until it's done. Rewrite script #1. 100 ideas for script #3, select the one that is best....

Take one raw idea
Marinate the idea in creative juices (about a week)
Slice the idea into thin, easy to handle pieces
Mimic what CJ Walley is doing
Repeat :-)

Ask- what if?- and then examine and ruminate over all the most creative possibilities to answer my question. When I have the ending, I begin.

Short script (just the core).
Leave to marinate for several months.
Then clean.
Bulk out with more story and theme.
Bake in Writerduet for 6 weeks
Then serve on scriptrelolution
For best results find out what people want to eat.

I never cook on recipes...
1 great character
1 different vantage point on how to angle them
1 story to provoke them
Back for a couple weeks
Send out for taste tests. Adjust as needed.
Drink whiskey. Loathe self.
