So basically I've been studying some more, been watching a lot of tutorials and such - I'm trying to make good melodies that stay in key, so I've been mapping out a key in 2 octaves in a sampler and ghost channeling them to make a melody, but the thing is, as you see in this image:

My root key is D sharp, the ghost scale is G Minor, I follow this and make a full melody in G Minor, the thing is, whenever I start from the root key of D Sharp in G Minor, I don't know rather to take the second note up or down, or up three notes or down two notes or let it ride out for half the bar or what.
What or where can I learn to understand what note to press next in the scale, basically I need to learn time signatures when it comes to notes and their length and rather to go up the next note or down. Is there a term for this and where do I learn about what to do?
Thanks.

This is the track I'm making, I changed it up some but just so you have an idea. I don't really like it and I think it's amateur sounding, but that's not the point the point is I'm stuck and don't know what to do after the root note in a scale rather to take it up or down or let it play out or what.
Thanks for the advice!
