I think if you just keep at it, and give it time, it will come to you. What I did last summer was just keep reading and listening to tutorials and LD podcasts to keep my mind on it. I even listened to a whole audio book about it. But before that I was journaling my dreams for 6 years, without really trying to LD. (DJ was just a hobby, I never thought I would LD)
the earliest progress you can probably look for is more dream recall. That might be fulfilling it itself because who knows, maybe your non lucids are already cool.
What's the hurry? You will get there. Once I "attained lucidity" regularly about 6 months ago, I found I had a long way to go in terms of stabilizing and actually being able to have my best experiences.
Another thing besides totorials that helped me in the beginning was reading other people's LD stories. It helped to hear what it was really like to LD. "Then, I looked at my fingers, and I had 6! I realized I might be dreaming! It turned out I was! I jumped up and flew! I saw a table full of dream desserts and flew toward it! Then I woke up! Dang!" Or "... I got to the desserts and ate them! I realized the dream was fading so I rubbed my hands! I spun around and then I was underwater! I realized I could breathe..."
My main advice is to try to enjoy the process. Everyone has their own learning curve but everyone gets there as long as they keep trying. And if you keep trying, and don't get an LD the rest of your life, and pass away, you are guaranteed an eternal OBE, depending what you believe
