"Those 2 things are an important part of a story, a beginning and an end."

Beginnings are easy. Tax-chick gives them to us all the time:

Jake is lying on the cement outside the kitchen, 
and Tom the mockingbird is perched on the 
wind chime barking, “Jake! Jake!”

My characters as of late have actively worked to derail story progression.
