My advice is to keep it simple at first. Don't try to launch right into some customized, complicated, multi-faceted project. Those are great and fun but probably better for when the learning curve starts to level off a bit.
Start with something that is close to your heart, something you are already quite familiar with. A time that means something to you, a team you follow or did follow closely, etc.
Mostly be open to failure and learn from it. If you are perfectionist and just starting to play the game, well, that can be worked with (I have some of those tendencies) but you have to keep telling yourself, it's just a game and I'll get better as I play it more. I guess what I am saying is to second what NoOne said about learning by doing and not worrying about how anyone else plays the game (other than to get inspiration for future projects).
And mostly: Have fun. And do it your way.
