I try to do something different with each piece (even if the change is not major)
Frex
Do first person
Write from the POV of someone who is opposite to me on feelings re sexism
Write someone who is a different religion to me
Write an elective mute as the love interest in a romance.
Write in present
Write it darker
Write something funnier
More literary
Less.
I do this because I'd get bored writing the same old. You may feel differently. But if you feel the itch, why not scratch it? Maybe in a short as Roxx suggested.
Everything I have written has taught me something (even if it is what not to do again!) And we are all learning
If you stop learning, you stagnate.
YMMV
