I just picked up geekgamers' book on Solo Roleplaying on sale at DriveThru. Love her channel and I'm looking forward to diving in to this book. #SoloRPG https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/399150/solo-game-master-s-guide-pdf
Oh, interesting, I haven't heard of it!
I recently read through "Mythic" (I am still completely new to solo rpgs, and have not played one yet).
But this book seems to contain more general tips?
Added it to my wishlist for the moment.

SGMG is an essay on solo gaming and talks about mindsets, starting drinks, tools and story telling.
Mythic is a comprehensive tool that lesses the burden on the player by providing a small framework with threads and characters, has a phantastic oracle and tons of random tables.
if you are unsure with solo gaming is about as a whole, read the SGMG. If you want a good tools that helps you run a game that is not necessarily geared towards solo gaming, use Mythic.

1. Everything is playing
2. But you don’t need everything
3. Don’t forget the G in RPG
4. Words, not dice rolling, will get you through narrative transitions
5. “What happens next?” is the only essential question
6. Play emotion, not mechanics
7. Stats are not story; numbers are not narrative
8. History is your friend
9. Specific items can generate abstract ideas
10. Similarities and differences yield themes
