" have always wondered why these "accounts" were not written within Jesus' lifetime? Why, exactly, did they wait 30-40 years for memory to fade, to put those "historical realities" to paper?"

Final copies were COMPLETED in the late forties and fifties--only 15 to 20 years after Jesus' Resurrection.
The original notes for these final copies were, no doubt, written during or immediately after Jesus' Resurrection. Paul was preaching the central doctrines of the Gospels in the forties, which means that he probably already had rough sketches and notes to direct his doctrines.
