One thing I gotta mention right away is tense consistency. It's fairly unusual to have a 'present tense', but it is done... however, you have to make sure that everything ends up in present tense as a result.
First paragraph: are lying down, watching, asks, replies, blinks, looks,
saidI was grooving on the tense up until 'said', at which point I screeched to a stop and had to re-read. No biggie, just a quick check/correction in your word processor.
(And I'm always doing stuff like that too... I think of the hollow mockery of a fellow I was before I had an editor, and I cringe. It was an ugly time in my life...
