I ended the piece. Oddly enough, the ending is a layering of the beginning paragraph that deals with having no audience. The conflicts still need to be inserted. But, I really love that last line. Hopefully, I won't screw up the piece: (Tip 5) If you really love a line or section, cut it out. Chances are it's junk.
(Now, not all of these tips are in order. I'm just writing them as I need them and remember them.) I think it was author/mentor Alex Kuo that tried to teach me to get divorced from the lines and sections I loved best. However, for now, I love the ending and can't part with it.
Actually, that love of what I write is part of the reason I have such a fuck of a time revising my work, oftentimes. But, this piece is in major need of revision.

Husband, if you are reading this blog, where did we put my small portable white desk? I could use it now. My old shoulder gets sore.
