How do I write a fugue?

Help me, I am sinking in a sea of lack of knowledge!

My compositional skills are very limited,having had no kind of formal education in that diriection. I have a dream and that is to write a fugue. These pieces seem to be very confusing but from what I can gather they are basically a set of themes strung together.

The question is, how do I do it?

If you'd like, my music teacher specializes in Fugues and is quite well educated about counterpoint. I could ask him some questions for you if you'd like
