These are great! Starting a software venture is totally doable, it just takes finding the right idea to really dive into. Save up for a while so you can afford to not make money while you get started, and then dive in if you really believe in it :)

A bakery is probably a little harder financially since you have to invest in space and equipment. But I totally relate to this too. Cooking can be so relaxing, and it would be a joy to provide that type of atmosphere for locals to enjoy.

Blogging can be daunting, but it really doesn't have to be! Take a look at Gatsby or Gridsome if you want to build your own, or use Medium/DEV if you don't want your own platform. I launched jwkicklighter.com after about a day of work using Gridsome + Netlify, and publishing a new post is as easy as writing a markdown document and committing the changes! I finally launched mine in response to getting some traction on a post in this community, so that could potentially be a good starting place as well. Just find a topic you want to cover and go for it!
