went to "Word on the Street"

So I went to a book lovers street fair last Sunday, and it left my head spinning. I was lucky enough to hear part of a lecture on publishing, and I was left feeling inspired although a bit nervous about all of the work ahead of me. When I first sat down a grey-haired woman in rain boots told me to "keep your distance." She was hogging an empty chair beside her with her plastic bag and I wondered if she was homeless, taking the "starving artist" thing to a new level. There were also alot of book nerds going for the academic look- leather satchels, black-framed glasses, and intellectual frowns. I didn't look like that because I was aiming for casual young writer with an element of almost attractive, inspiring other writers to exclaim "she has a certain je ne sais quois about her, almost like she doesn't know she's good looking." I think I achieved it.
