I agree with those above.
Don't feel stupid. I mean, you've only done magic for a little while. As you may find out, 3-4 months is almost like nothing. Plus, I'd say that in a little bit, you might lose a bit of interest in magic (although, this is what I call the test of faith. Everyone goes through it. You first lose interest, and then you come back, much more enthusiastic).
Think of simple little routines, and not such complicated ones so far. I mean, I've done magic for a loooong time (even longer than I originally thought), and I JUST started to create an ambitious card routine...
Think of a routine as pieces of a puzzle, or a story. In most cases, this is true, in which the effects are related to a story. In other cases, they are not really related, but they range in amazement. Kind of like a dinner. First the appetizer, then the .....erm...well, not the main course just yet. Maybe something else a bit more powerful, and THEN comes the main course, the thing that the spectator will remember.
Good luck.
