I think you're right too - it depends greatly on what you want to do with your music. My advice came directly from the book The Song Machine which is about the history of pop music. I figured that a good, reachable first goal would be to make a song that would be good enough to share on Facebook or something like that. Then, once you got the basics down, write songs that are unpredictable and explore new avenues.
