I first got into lucid dreaming this summer, made progress until school started and I didn’t have time to write down dreams or anything in the morning. I had a few LD’s, but they were all very short and lame. I’ve decided to get back into this now, and with a different tactic: I’m just gonna focus on dream recall. I’m going to not care whether I have a lucid dream or not until my dream recall is excellent. If I have a few DILD’s along the way, that’s just a bonus 
What do you guys think of this plan?
This is probably a really good idea. I know for a fact that I’ve had multiple LDs since I started trying, but I can’t remember a single one of them due to my awful recall. I only know I was lucid due to random snippets that come back during the day. For instance, today I read something about doing a reality check by trying to speak, and I remembered a moment of an LD I had last night where my voice was distorted. Anyway, my point is, merely by improving your recall you’ll have more LDs, since they aren’t all that hard to achieve if you focus on them, the hard bit is remembering them.
I second that.
I’ve been on and off several times (currently having an off period again) and whenever I pick it up again I start focusing mostly on Dream Recall. Eventually I’ll have a few DILD’s, etc.
Incidentally, I do get better at actively inducing lucid dreams through WILD (succeeded a few times now), but I don’t really care that much about MILD, because I hate to practice my actual memory. It’s something I might do in the future, but I lack the discipline to train my prospective memory, so I focus on DR instead. With practice I remember so many dreams per night after a week or two that my chances of becoming lucid increase greatly. And it’s almost zero effort. Now that I’m starting to understand how WILD works for me, it’s even easier. So it’s a good idea if you’re patient, and not “starving” for LD’s.
Improving DR is the first step to increase your chance to have LD’s, and just by focusing on this, sooner or later you’ll have some DILD as you said… and that’s a nice bonus
By the way, i’m retrying LD’s too, i find practising on summer is a lot easier than in school times, but you could definately do it by sleeping more hours in the night or taking a nap in during the afternoon.
Even if i’m starting again my quest for lucidity, the practice done in the past seem still to take affect on me and i remember more dreams naturally or a good number of them in i focus in remembering them.
I tryied WILD too, but didn’t had much progress like Svenshinhan did!
Despite what many people do, not trying too hard is actually one of the best techniques ^^
Increasing your recall is great for starting, and you could try Lucid Living too (check the topic in General Lucidness): it’s all about heightening your average awareness (caring about DR sends the message you want to participate more in your dreams), so you will be able to spot a dream much more easily 
without even triyng at night.
If you don’t want to make it any more complex, just keeping a detailed DJ is already a wonderful way to go ;D
