I finished the Solo Game Master's Guide by Geek Gamers.
It's an excellent resource for solo game masters (e.g. anyone who's playing a solo role-playing game). Yes, it has oracles and tables you can use as inspiration, but those are secondary. The focus of the book is really on how to keep your character's story moving forward and how to NOT rely on dice and random tables to tell a story. That leads to dead ends and uninspired stories.
A huge challenge I found when writing : weak adverbs

The photos below are my kitty & her pawdiwork handiwork. Odette & I both ADORE my desk chair. It is a solid, wooden affair with a rocker base like a rocking chair. The trouble is, Miss Itty Odette's nickname came up with the delightful practice of flipping her little body round-and-round the back of the chair, hanging upside down... until it rocks backward &... well... as you can see, it eventually broke. We're not sure how to repair it or what sort of handyperson to seek out for such repairs. Any help or suggestions to get past the destruction Do I need a new chair... I'll post additional photos if needed... Thank y'all in advance.

You can access WSL from or cmd with a command like so:
wsl.exe -d Ubuntu-22.04 --cd "" -e bash -i -l
Everything that I need write a custom TRAMP mode seems to be there. I tried reading the tramp.el to see how they do it for containers. But still fell a bit short because TRAMP seems to be missing something. I guess if anyone has experience writing custom TRAMP modes can give some , , I'd really apprieciate it.
