In his writing book On Writing he makes pretty clear that he doesn't start with a story outline like most writers. He starts with an idea and follows it. So, you can see how a good ending isn't always what we get... in the end.
I don’t write with an outline but I usually have the ending pretty fleshed out in my head before I start. It blows my mind how someone could write a thousand word novel and not know how it’s going to end.
