What's your writing process? What have you learned?

I learned to use the story circle and the hero´s journey and that makes it easier.
There has to be a problem/solution/goal in the story and it´s good when the flaw of the
character is connected to it.
The character of my old stories could have been replaced by any character, the
character of my new stories can´t be replaced because the story is connected
to her personality and backstory.
The more backstory for characters the better. What do they read? What´s
in their fridge? What´s in their medicine cabinet? Stuff like that. I know who
their parents were and how they grew up.
I still suck at this but I´m getting better. I still have the tendency to write around
situations that I want to draw or get distracted from the main story by interesting
side situations
