Do not start a story unless you have an ending in mind. You can change the story's ending if you wish, but you should always have a destination.
When the ending finally comes to me, I often have to backtrack and make the beginning point towards that ending. Other times, I know exactly what the ending will be before I begin, like with the story "A Brief Encounter With the Enemy." It was all about the ending - that's what motivated me.

I just can't structure stories or character arcs and stuff without knowing the endpoint.
