I think it's better to avoid long ellipses for now. It's too hard to aim with this distances. Ironically, you aim too much with tables of circles, trying to avoid other lines or touch them. Try to forget about that stuff for now and do whatever will come out after ghost ellipse just to get the motion your elbow should be doing. At this stage you should go for the form rather for the size.
But take my advice with a grant of salt, i just finished my lesson 1 so i'm clearly not an expert. Keep up a positive attitude and don't burn yourself out with 250 boxes (I myself hated boxes at the end of last exercise but with cooling off i'm good). Try to draw something fun before that, like, some robot (mechanics often have basic shapes like boxes so this can help you somewhat)

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
