Just make it the first thing you can come up with. Now you may be saying "my first idea would probably be terrible and affect the direction of the content" to which I say, do it anyway. When you are near the end of the story, reveal a shamalan-esque twist out of no where that will force the story to fit with your ending.

No, I have to know when I reach "the end."

Why though? IF at all else, have your MC end up right where he began, and make some kind of poetic goal out of all of it.

Otherwise, check out this thread. They can probably help you.

You could try and think of it right now before keep writing. Just so you know where to transition to the ending.

Having an over goal or idea of where your plot is going is good. I'd say necessary. That goal may mutate but to have an overall idea, preferable.

Just throw words together. Just let your mind flow. Maybe you choose you break the fourth wall? Maybe you think of a pink dinosaur that comes out of no where and eats the mc? I don't know, but let your imagination flow through you.

Look at your wall. What's the first word that comes to your mind? Write it down. What word comes from you thinking that word? Write it down.

Rinse, wash and repeat until you get maybe 20 words and think of a way they can go into your plot or describe an action that happens.

Don't think cockroaches fits well into a romance story...

I think they do.

They fuck up the mood, can cause the dominante one to save the submissive one, can be used as an adjective for a third person to try and intervene, thus making the dominant one try to defend the submissive one and have some kind of ''nothing is stronger then love'' climax, but then have ninjas come out and fuck it up at the lest second.
