Sorry, something was in my throat.
1. Nobody expects a live hand post to look as nice as a converted online hand.
2. You don't need specifics. When I'm talking to friends about hands that happened live, I frequently say things like "there were 3 or 4 limpers in the hand", "I was in mid-late position", "an un-important card came on the turn", "it was a medium pot", etc. Focus on the important details, the rest doesn't matter that much.
3. If you can't even remember that much, make it your goal to get one hand from every session. When a good hand to post about comes up, write it down. There should be at least one hand in the next 3 or 4 that you fold preflop that will give you a minute to jot down the important details. If you feel like an idiot doing it at the table, get up and do it. But write it down.
4. Respond to other people's hands. If you can't even do any of those 2 things reply to other people's hands. Note, that this is nowhere near as good as posting your own.
5. Make up a hand, and talk about how you would play it. If you little to no imagination grab a deck of cards deal yourself two, pick a scenario (you're in late position, UTG raised, two people called, what do you do? sorta thing) and then deal a flop/turn/river deciding what you'd do at each point.
There, now you have lots of options.
