No, he obviously hasn't. If he did he would know that Lua is a pronoun, not an acronym.

Anyway, all I can suggest is that you read PIL ( Programming In Lua ) and learn about the standard features available to you as a Lua user, once you understand these things you need to come up with creative ideas ( don't make an administration script, there are MILLIONS already. Unless you can really make it greater than the sum of it's parts ) that people will enjoy. You also need a decent education, you will probably need to know some trigonometry and linear algebra some time in your adventures.

Making hard scripts doesn't make you a good scripter.

To be a good scripter you have to write your scripts being smart in such a way that looking at your code inspires other scripters... or something like that.

You just need time to adquire new skills in Lua. Also you need to search about things that you didn't see before, or things that other people uses in their scripts. I mean functions of Lua that you didn't know that they exist.

Just say you're going to make an impossible script ("I'M GONNA MAKE NPCS GUARD ROOMS") and then miserably fail at it, after trying every possibility to make it work.

To be a good scripter:
Yea, start with simple scripts!
But not such which could make any noob (command -> private message).
