I usually start with one little piece of the story falling into my head, and sometimes that's an image or a line of dialogue. But sometimes I get an emotional piece instead, this feeling one of the characters is going to work up to or sustain throughout the story. Then I have to figure out what's made them feel like that and kind of work outward from there. Either way, though, I have to figure out what's motivating people pretty early in the writing.
