If you are having problems with melody-crafting, my best tip is: have patience. Think about the piece over a week, brainstorm every so often, and you will have found yourself a melody. I personally do not have too much trouble with creating melodies, so I guess my aid might not be the most pedagogic one.
You say that you already outlined the chord progression, how about doing the reverse? Create a melody and then harmonize it, is that easier for you? If so, stick to the latter suggestion.
Another way to find a melody is to improvise something, my case the piano. Play about anything listen to what you improvise; if something catches your ear, play it again and try to analyze what you find is good with it.
