Answer 1

First think about the book,start with a very catchey first few lines that will catch your readers attention.
Decide know if you want your story funny,exciting with drama,job experiences with mystery or what ever you have in mind.
Introduce you main characters,your self included,make them as real as possible.families,heavy drinker,smoker,jokester keeps to self,etc.
Describe what kind of place it is,where's it's located etc.
Describe the owners.bosses,fat,mean,big cigars a few rumors,make yourself one.
Once youv'e created a good picture that your reader is going to be able to see visualy and the lines that keep them reading,you can start on your experiences.
One at a time,what happened,did it involve your main charactors,your bosses how what were the results etc.
intertwine your main charactors,bosses,yourself.
Put all the feeling you can in every line,people will pick that up and react to it.Go for it good luck

start with detail notes about the whole thing. The greater the detail the better the story will be down the road.

Next step is learn how to write. Not implying that you are illiterate. Writing for publishing is a whole different skill set. You have to learn how to grab people's interest. How to format the presentation. Get a grammer nazi to work your writng over with a bull whip. Learn how to keep people's attention (see semi nude grammer nazi with bull whip)

I suggest writing a few things to learn writing before tackling the project you really want to do. You'll find that your writing improve greatly with each project you tackle and that the first few things you write will wind up gathering dust. You will learn technique and become dramatically better with practice. It is armed with this practice that you want to tackle the project you really want to do.

Remember the key points. No matter how good the story, if the presentation sucks nobody will read it. So when you start to tackle it outline how exactly you want to present it. Try out different angles to make it as appealing as possible while remaining faithfull to the story. Embellishment is great for fiction and auto-biographies but really bad news for non-fiction. Embelish once and get caught it discredits the entire book. So along with the detail notes obtain as much proof as possible for every event. Document in detail. Obtain and dedicate a file folder exclusively for this project. Save and back up frequently. I suggest using versioning software like Subversion or CVS. While it's meant for programmers it still works for writers. Those edits you thought were so great over a couple beers might not seem so good a week later. With versioning software you can go back and retrieve those edits. With backups you only lose a small part of what you wrote if the HD dies or other catastrophe strikes.

Once you think it's read get it read. There are a number of authors groups where each member endures the others writing and critques it in exchange for other authors enduring your work. This will make your writing better. Start doing this even before your main projects. What you will learn will save you countless hours by doing it right the first try when you do the project you speak of.

Go to writers conventions. Subscribe to writing magazines. Your goal is to never even grace the slush pile. You want your work solicited if possible. Best way to do that is to get known.

Since you are writing non-fiction it might even be possible to get an advance just from a synopsis of what you want to write. Be ready to write it and have it at least half done or you'll never make the deadlines. Get it proffesionally edited before submission. Not like the old days, publishers expect authors to edit thier own work before submission.

Hope this helps.
