One tip I would offer is, you don't have to do anything by a playbook. I was looking at piano music I composed a few years ago, which has always seemed quite strong, and the first statements are the melody with no support at all, ie., nothing in any left hand. The melody tells you what it is, rather than force the thing.
Even as I was first called "composer" in like 1981, I didn't write a piano solo before... I think it was 2012.
I was planning on getting my old musical partner in crime, a Pianist, to do the thing but he couldn't, so I had to do it. I set it up as two [MIDI] tracks, one for each hand, and a third track for pedaling. To force myself to think pianistically. This one is definitely a two-hand job.
