Well, last night I finally finished my essay for The Neil Gaiman Reader, being edited by Darrell Schweitzer. It's called "The Old Switcheroo: A Study in Role Reversal" and weighs in at 3900 words, around fourteen and a half pages in Courier New 12 point font, with a Works Cited page. I'm so glad it's done, the first draft anyway; I've been working on it a little bit at a time, after work and on weekends, for around three or four weeks. I'll try to polish it up this weekend, so I can send it out Monday. I'll be ecstatic if Schweitzer accepts it, even at a penny a word, because it's a cool thing to put on a cover letter. Wish me luck.
