Cool! I like your plan, I've often felt similarly. Though it seems most people end up with their best work being one of the subsiduary ones :) Still, it's a good thing to achieve in life.
It's not a case of wanting these stories to be my absolute best, but wanting to at least do them justice.
As a very unartistic person, there's usually a world of difference between what's in my head, and what I create in the physical world. A good analogy would be like working clay - the first time you do it, you end up with something that looks like a lump of clay hammered into shape by an idiot with no talent.
I want to avoid that by practicing as much as possible before take some clay to these stories, so that they look at least half decent when I write them.
If they do turn out to be my best, then so be it. If I go on to write something better, that's OK too. But the important thing is that I'm happy with the results... That I can look back on it and be satisfied that at least it wasn't a complete shambles. ;-)
