Personal Essay Markets

Which comes first the essay or the market? For me it's usually the essay. I decide today I want to write about purple chocolate covered swimming pools, and then I have to stalk a market for it. No easy task.

Sometimes it's a lot like Snipe hunting, but there are more and more markets for essays these days. Got a personal essay burning a hole in your pocket?
