I know this is more difficult than it sounds, but write what you know. If you want to go memoir, try this on for size. Pick a location, like your backyard or the fields at the end of your street. Jot down as many incidents and ideas about that place as you can. Pick one and free write about it. Jot down as many details and images and descriptions as you can.
Finally, see if you can flesh it out into a full piece.
Lastly, here's a site with prompts that might help you.
