Review one or more of your own works. You can select based on how much you like the work, early versus recent, media type, whatever. Be your own critic, keep your opinion to yourself, and consider how you might do differently if you were to do it again.
If you chose a favorite, you might try producing a lesser version. An actor can tell you that playing the inept character requires lots of ability.
Good luck!
