Strange sentence.

A couple nights ago, while falling asleep, this sentence flashed through my mind:

A year earlier, she’d called herself The Hard Machine and pulled a blade on Timothy.

Strange, but pretty good, huh?

    It reminds me(your posts always reminds me of sth,what’s the magic?) of a pretty funny incident whose wild circulation,especially in the so-called “cultural circle” here in China,is more or less fueled by its sheer irony.
    A fairly famous Chinese writer published a poem on a preeminent literary journal in China,adding as a pertinent anecdote that the inspiration for those lines actually flashed in his dreams.He was like,scrawling the couplets on the wall against his bed when asleep(or was it awake?).He delightfully eyed the words as the random display of his overflowing literary talent the next morning and generously wanted to share it.His is really a marvelous poem after all.If only it’s the case.I mean,well,it’s not what has actuallyhappened.Just a few days later someone broke the news that the poem the writer scrawled onto the walls during his sleep were actually written by another author altogether,way back in Tang Dynasty!So it turned out that the writer has just transcribed a poem by someone else onto a wall in one night and claimd it to be his the next morning.Pretty amazing huh?And what shall I make of it?Great minds think alike,like the saying goes,or,this guy really got poor memory?
    Maybe a little bit of both.

    Sound like the first sentence of your next short story. Cyberpunk, most likely. I think you could write a mean cyberpunk.

    Well, thank you! Maybe I should try it.

    Actually, I thought up a new idea for a story today. I have a supply of Junior Mints, which my mom sent me for my birthday. They’re a good writing food for me. So, maybe I can try doing both stories.

    Maybe I should try to get sponsored by Junior Mints. Maybe I can put their badge on my blog or something in exchange for free candy.
