First compost! Concerns? Advice? Tips?

Hi! Looking for some comments about my compost! This is my first time doing this so I just grabbed an empty laundry bucket and poked a couple holes.

Started with adding dried grass, leaves, and of course green components like potato skins, banana & orange peels, and eggs shells!

My main issue right now are my brown ingredients not breaking down so easily and seem a bit dry. When I add water though, it pools just a bit at the bottom but I can assume that’s from not bugs enough holes in the bucket. Anyways I would appreciate any advice!
