I'm learning to FMQ as well...bought lots of books and watched lots of videos...and love Leah Day...so inspiring.
But the best thing that has helped me is a book called doodle quilting. She recommend 'doodling' a lot...so I am spending a lot of time just doodling all over the place with paper and pencil. I'm drawing loops, l's, e's, backward C's, etc...and drawing lots of feathers. Drawing squares or triangles and practicing the filling them with feathers.
shhhh...I even 'doodled' while I was listening to the sermon in church today....don't tell anybody...but this thing could get addictive. LOL
