Writing: I realized last night why I never tried to submit the soup story anywhere. I never tried because it has no magic in it. Magic isn't necessary to tell the story; it's just a cute story about a father and his daughter. I could mention perhaps that there are wizards in the setting, but that's about it. I'll have to see if there are any children's story venues where it might be acceptable. There is some more adult subtext that I'm not sure would be suitable for children--the reason why Aerden insists that Yrdani eat all of her food. I'll wait until my Writers Market gets here and then decide.

For now...I'm at work.
