When most people ask, "What are you writing?" I don't think they're looking for details; just a general idea. Occasionally someone will show more interest, and you can tell them what will make this story special... in a general sort of way. But if your story isn't already locked down, don't try to be specific... and even if it isn't locked down, don't give away the ending (except to a potential publisher). Give 'em a reason to actually read it when you're done!
