How about when you have an idea but don't know how you'd start or end it?

I wan to write a story about some guy finally returning from the war after about five years after its end, practically dragged back to civilization by old friends who've all already settling down with husbands and wives living full, healthy lives.

He and they were all a part of the legendary mercenary band who saved the world, and he has spent the last half decade trying to search for their Commander (his best friend) who disappeared in the final battle. So he's welcomed back with open arms by everyone, sees friends again, yet suffers from some minor PTSD and powerful fear that he failed to save the only person who ever truly believed in him.

So I'd want to build a definite contrast between someone fighting and failing to stoke that call to abandon this new life, and he part within that wishes to finally settle down and forget the war.
