This is where the real work begins and I start deciding how dedicated I truly want to be. After almost 400 games, I've finally stopped coasting. I don't just automatically win most of my games anymore. I can't just expand when I feel like it. Harassment isn't guaranteed to be profitable. Sloppy wall-ins get broken down, and sloppy macro gets outdone. And most importantly, just because I have a big army doesn't mean it's going to be a good idea to attack move into the opponent's main. Here's a good example of me losing to brazenness (ZvZ on Delta Quadrant).
It's time to start thinking a little more and polishing my game up a little more. I think I'll focus on just one race for a while, probably Protoss, my weakest of the three. Perhaps I'll start with the typical 4 Warp Gate push and see where that takes me. I like the idea of starting by using only one strategy. Eventually, you perfect it, and then you can look at the games you're still losing to see where that strategy's weaknesses really are, at which point you modify it as little as possible to accommodate encountering a similar problem in future games. As you continue to modify it over time, you'll in theory eventually end up playing a fully versatile, many-faceted game that may or may not even incorporate the original strategy.
