Kate, I know how you feel. I've been here for 6 years and so I've not only experienced it, I've listened to lots of others who have said the same thing. I've had, perhaps, a dozen LDs, though the fault is entirely my own for just not putting forth the effort I will say that it took me about two weeks before I had my first LD, so you're not alone there.
Don't worry about not posting the most spectacular lucid dreams ever. At this point I'd say just look at the dreams you've had so far and look at any and all progress that you've made. Are you recalling more dreams? Do you think you're getting closer? Progress can be something as small as noticing more opportunities that could have made you question whether or not you're dreaming. Writing in your DJ will definitely help there. Do you find yourself thinking at all differently at times in your dreams? Do you ever exert some control over the dream (even if you're not lucid)? Look at what you've done so far and know that you're headed in the right direction.
Lastly, don't plan for failure. Always plan for success! Plan to become lucid tonight, and so decide what you want to do right now. Making a plan will help you avoid wasting valuable dream time figuring out what you're going to do. I look forward to hearing about your LDs, so keep me posted!
See you around and if you think of anything we can help you with, let us know.
-Amé
