I would never scold anyone who is willing to study. The way of studying can be revised, but someone's will to better himself cannot, as it comes from within. So, I am happy to hear that you are studying.

In regards to the books. Well, the books about the art itself, I could advise you numerous titles, from a light read to a serious in-depth positions. However, if it comes to the method of writing, I know none, as I do not use them. Nonetheless, all is not lost, and you can learn a lot from you tube, if you know where to look.

Look up videos of Joshua (art-virtue)

artvirtue's Channel - YouTube

also, videos by 001Asoer, they are all in Chinese, but it doesn't matter.

and also videos by by sf108com

To start off, look for videos posted by those 3 users and search for 永字八法, which are the 8 principles of the character 永, i.e. the basic strokes of the standard script, which is a script that you should be learning at first.

Hope that helps. 頑張ってね!
