Writing my own games. You can start out simple to get your feet wet, but sky's the limit for what functions and features you could have and need to learn. Think of a simple pong clone. Add better AI. Maybe make a selectable difficulty of that AI. Make a GUI menu for that. Add touch or mouse controls. Add network multiplayer. Simulate better physics. Add sounds and background music. Online high score list. Etc. Each of those requires increasing your breadth of knowledge, and doing them well will require some depth, too. The second part of my answer would be to not get caught up in perfecting any of the above the first go around. Iterate, learn, improve.
