Yeah the the community is incredibly helpful, but sometimes I wish there was one person I could just unload all of my questions at once to get a tighter feedback loop going. I think in the end there probably isn't much I already couldn't find out on my own or with the help of others for free, but this process could be a lot more efficient if I had an actual mentor.

Where do you live? It's probably harder to find what you're looking for in some places than others.

Have you tried using it at work? That will speed you along a lot faster. People fetishize after-hours work in this industry, but the truth is that it's usually better if you can find a way to make your day-job synergize with what you want to do in the long term.
