Will try solving only with down clues. Do you think that I should get a book of easy crosswords explicitly for that purpose? Part of what happened wasn't guessing or leave a square blank. It was like I'd know an answer was ENYA and for some reason I'd write ENYT or something silly like that.
No easier than the puzzles on the easy end of what you'd normally solve; even try with the medium or hard puzzles after a few weeks. You won't get much of them, but you'll get better at picking out patterns of letters and making correct words without seeing clues... you want to get good at being correct when you don't understand the multiple-possible-meaning clues or don't know the trivia. Let entering correct letters become a habit.

To get better at guessing & not skipping crossings, try to solve a puzzle every day for 6 months using only the down clues.
