Internet/ffnet hiccup (and Ann Makosinski's success)

This is very irksome!  I have the opening part of the next chapter of 'The Ivory Merchants' set to go, and I can't open ffnet.  [Now I can! :D ] For the two chapter stories I've done on ffnet (well, one done and a second in process) I've kept the drafts on ffnet as I write each part, keeping a document in Word as well - that way, it feels like a measurable advance every time I update the draft on ffnet, and those markers of measurable advances ... I like feeling them!!
But now,with ffnet down, as I suppose it is, I'm missing [So now I do have] that minuscule glow of satisfaction, of feeling that I'm getting somewhere.  [And I do mean minuscule!  This is about four hundred words, but at least it's a start.]

(Speaking of minuscule glow - how's this for young-woman-brilliance?  Not such a small glow!  And here 's where she explains that it was her contact with her Filipina friend that sparked (heh!) the invention.)
