I'm just gonna try to go down and cover each point in order:
This is a skill that you could practice and improve at throughout your whole life, don't worry if you don't have it mastered in a month.
It's good that you're writing down your dreams, and it's not abnormal for people to go through "dry spells" where they don't recall any dreams. The point of writing dreams down, in addition to increasing your recall, is to analyze them for common experiences that might have clued you in to the fact that you were dreaming. Start looking for things like that, and reality check when you encounter something similar in your waking life. Forget about setting your cell to have to RC each hour, that's pointless.
WILDing when you go to bed won't help, because you need to be deep in a REM cycle to make it work properly. Set your alarm clock to wake you 6 hours after you go to bed, and then your WILD-WBTBs will work better, and sleep paralysis will come easy. If you're having trouble staying focused as you fall back to sleep, you probably need to wake yourself up a little more. In other words, if you're just hitting your alarm, turning over and going to sleep, you may need to do something slightly more active like actually getting out of bed and taking a bathroom break or something.
This stuff is all in EWOLD btw, and my reason for telling you that is to reinforce your confidence in the idea that following EWOLD will give you LDs, because confidence is the most important key. The biggest problem for WBTBers is the thought, "I'm tired, this is obviously not working, I'm just gonna give up for tonight and sleep." Just keep brushing aside your doubts as many times as it takes; they're the source of the problems, and it's entirely possible for you to LD tonight as long as you stay confident.
