Six Sentence Sunday 8/5/12

     Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday!  I have officially completed the first and very rough draft of my WIP The Mythical Male.  I now need to go back and figure out which subplots I'm going to expand on, which I'm going to cut and I'll probably need to draw out some action as well.  So what you read here may or may not make it to the final manuscript, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

     For my six sentences this week, I chose a great moment between two great friends.  I was debating whether or not I should give a little background or just keep you guessing and I decided to let you fill in the blanks.  Enjoy!

              Syky wrapped her arms around Ziki.  “I don’t think you’re strange. I would do that for you if you weren’t already like family to me.  It’d be too weird to have a baby with my sister, you know?”

            She gave Syky a squeeze.  “Thanks Sy, I totally get it. Why don’t you go cancel your appointment, and get ready for some retail therapy with me, Xulula, and Isis?”

P.S.  Please read my post titled "HELP!"  and give your input.  I'm desperate. 

HELP!

I need your input, badly.  So badly I'm writing this impromptu style and may or may not proofread. (My apologies.)  Here's the dilemma:  I need to know who was in the wrong, if anyone.

I participate in an online critiquing website and am generally happy with it and love everyone there.  I try hard to keep my tit for tat even by returning every crit.  I feel bad when I get feedback and never return the favor.  I recently got the rare chance to take a few minutes and return a crit.  The story was not all that good and I added a few comments that, in retrospect, could have explained my ideas better.  I would have given it a poor grade and send the automatic "Thank you for critiquing my story." message and left it at that.  The message I got back was something along the lines of "Thanks for taking the time, but you shouldn't have bothered."

I'm still building up that thick skin and this hit a thin patch.  Was I wrong?  Was she wrong?  Neither? Both?  Please tell me what you think so I can stop racking my brain and get back to writing.  I would greatly appreciate it.
