Hello on Wednesday!  What kind of a writing day has it been today?

•     I thought about my fic once or twice
•     I wrote
•     I did some planning and/or research
•     I edited
•     I've sent my fic off to my beta
•     I posted today!
•     I'm taking a break
•     I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion:  Endings -- while in the planning stage of a story, do you plan how it will end or do you let it work itself out?  Do you know clearly when you have reached the end of a chapter or a story?

I have several multi-chapter WIPs that have a "planned" ending -- in that I have an idea of what might work to wrap them up and I've made notes to that effect, but I'm well aware that it could all change by the time I actually get there.  Shorter one-shot fics tend to be less planned in that I don't know how long they will be or what will come at the end, but I usually have a good sense when I have found the end.  I don't know how that works, but I seem to know when a story is finished, or when the chapter is done and I can leave it as it is.
