This Variation focus on the most basic concept of how you get organized to play a solo session. It it include topics such as organizing your physical materials (books, papers, etc.), pre-creating lists from your inspirational materials, deciding what broad style the game will be (linear vs. sandbox), and how to go about recording your scenes and adventures afterwards. It wraps with several useful paragraphs that remind us that as we are the only audience of our work it can be done at the pace that fits our lives. 

There is a Mythic Magazine article that directly touches on this subject, but also other articles that tie into the theme.
