After naming my document it automatically wants to save it into Pages - iCloud. If if pull down to favorites I have a desktop folder option. When I choose that, it is only desktop in the cloud. I like and want to continue having things on my desktop that don't need or want to be anywhere else.

When you first launch Pages and pick a document template, the next thing you should do is manually select File menu > Save. The first time you use Pages and save a document, it opens to a minimalized Save panel that may look like the following:
You can click that Where: selector and choose Desktop, or you can click that down-arrow on the opposite side of the Where selector, and it will then point up and expand to what appears to be a regular Finder window with your Favorites exposed in the usual sidebar, and the Desktop located there. Clicking that also changes the Where: selection to the Desktop. Pages will then remember this expanded Save panel in the future, just as it remembers the last folder that was saved too. By initially saving an empty document, you also enable Pages autosave and versioning.

Why do Pages documents default to iCloud on my iMac?
