I generally refuse to encourage people to solo if they have not completed the game yet. I did not solo until I had played through the game several times with a party.

Soloing is only 'easy' if you have foreknowledge of what to expect next. Stumbling through blindly is going to cause a lot of grief and reloading. As for first solos... Sorcerer is kinda advanced for a first solo attempt. I soloed with a Cavalier first to get a feel of what soloing will be like.

In addition, you need to really know your spells if you want to solo with a spellcaster successfully. A pure spellcaster especially. Lacking indepth knowledge on how spells work, and what spells work best in different situation will only serve to cripple you. This is why I always encourage people to experiment with spells when they are playing with a party.

A multiclass will most probably serve you better, since it eases the pain of suddenly losing the services of 5 potential party members. Pureclassed solos are generally much harder than multiclassed solos.
