I'm writing a memoir and I've grown confident in my prose and voice. But I'm very bad at plotting. My instinct is to just write an autobiography and write about everything chronologically starting from childhood. However, I know that ultimately I will have to organize my book and distinguish between what is backstory (and where does that go) and what is the crux of my story.
I was wondering if there were any examples of memoirs with great PLOTS or masterfully sequences and organized in a way that drives the action forward and keeps the reader engaged while deploying backstory appropriately, even if the prose is simple, plain, and perhaps even average.
Any recommendations?
