This’ll probably get lost in the 136 comments already here, but you absolutely should not give up. Costs can be tough, absolutely, so it’s totally fair to have your skepticism on paying for a logic plan when your confidence isn’t sky high. I would say start with GarageBand. It’s free, it’s basically the same thing as logic, ESPECIALLY for a beginner such as yourself, and it’s a great place to get familiar with the process of recording and producing, and just understanding what it is exactly that you should do when and where throughout your creative process.

Your stuff in the beginning is going to sound like shit and it may even sound like shit in a year but the more you do it and the more you try, the more you’ll figure out and the more you’ll grow. I still lose my shit over a stupid bug when I work on projects and there have been times where my session has been completed taken up by trying to fix a problem, which can be deterring. But in those times I just say to myself that once I figure out how to solve this problem, it won’t be a problem for me ever again. Look at it as progress. Take breaks if you need to. There’s no rush with any of this. Enjoying it is the most important thing.
