I don't understand why you wrote (sic) after a sentence of your own creation. AFAIK sic is used when you are quoting another person: if that quote includes a mistake of some kind, sic indicates that it was written or spoken as you have reproduced it. "Sic erat scriptum," meaning "thus it was written." [0]
