I mostly write non-fiction, I'm struggling through my first fiction story now, but I read an article by the well-known Sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov once where he said that his general approach is to come up with things in this order:

general idea
ending
beginning
figure out how to get from the beginning to the end

It makes sense to me. Usually the ending is closely tied to the point of any story. If you don't know where you're going, how will you get there?
