This is why I have always found proofs difficult. I just don't know what steps people think are important to spell out but.

Study "false proofs", try to see where they go wrong. This will teach you what details need to be spelled out in detail to easily tell the difference between a false proof and a true proof. You will learn how to demonstrate you have nothing up your sleeves so to speak.
Then spell out all of them, and have someone else tell you when it's become too tedious.
