Writing a memoir is difficult. Yes, sure you have the information in front of you but how do you structure all of that information? That is something I have struggled with. In my search, I found this article, Structuring Your Memoir by, Wendy Dale a big help.
She also has more information at Writing for Geniuses at http://www.geniusmemoirwriting.com/
I hired a coach to assist me with the structure of my memoir. It was the best money spent. My middle was too heavy with examples of our story and I thinned it out. She taught me about anchoring images and that helped a ton. The key is is not to tell every little detail but to pick three or four and tell them fully.
