Sometimes you have to let go before you can hold on. I hope that Bella will discover that Edward letting go is his way of holding on to her forever.

Dani, we need to get the word out that UtAT is up for a couple awards in The Glove awards. Here is the link. thegloveawards.webs.com/vote.htm I hate that EP is winning in almost everthing it's been nom'd for. There is no way every character in that story is the best. I hate popularity contest and it seems that so far, that's what it is. Getting the word out might help.

There are not enough words to convey all that your writing is and does. Your words can bring such life like heart wrenching pain and then turn into such joyous euphoria. All I have most of the time is...Wonderful job or crying buckets to say, but it is so much deeper than that. I just don't know how to express what I am feeling or take the time to practice.
I am so glad I 'met' you at TTS when you had that story there and then followed you to those other places where you introduced us to Jo. My husband is not. Complains all of the time about how much time I'm on the computer and it is now only to read story updates or reread chapters cause I need to read it again. I don't know if you remember, but at one time it was hinted at if anyone knew of or could fund a printing Co. when you were still writing TWS. I was tempted to reply that I don't know of a Co. or have the funds, but there is a Jones printer that has been printing the story to get the hubby off my back. Only to cause more grief because all the paper, ink, page protectors, and folders to keep the work of art in. I love your work so much, unfortunately this Jones cannot keep up with the rest of the Jones or the Smiths.
Thank you, Dani! Looking forward to chapter 59!

Baby Grace deaf? Of course Bella would blame herself and go crazy with it. Terrible that she would try to hurt Edward with it, but it is true Bella in this fic. Hate that she hurt him, but glad he stood up for himself. Hope that she didn't really do anything with the guys at the party. Bet she didn't and Garrett will be a good guy. Got to go read the next--so anxious!

Dear Dani,
This story has captured me in the few short days that I have been reading it. I was a huge fan of The Workshop and after reading hundreds of fictions, it is still on the top of my list as one of the very best. UTAT will be up there as well. It could not be more different than The Workshop, yet still is just as enveloping and captivating. Obviously the subject matter is much more intense, but it is the way you write and the visual scenes you create that just drags the reader in and makes us emotionally intertwined with the characters.
There is a rhythm to your writing this time. The short sentences, the "I" statements... almost like the story is just written in thoughts and details being seen. For some reason, this technique is working really well in creating very vivid pictures. I think this is one of the most visually intense stories for me. Your descriptions mesh well with my thought process as I read.
Your dialog is as amazing as it was in TW. If you are not a professional screenwriter, then you should be. Melissa Rosenberg should be shot for her terrible adapted screenplays for all of the saga. It takes true talent to create what you have managed to in both of these stories.
Your ability to create a scene, include amazing dialog, actions and reactions from the characters involved, and it all flows smoothly from thought to thought as if it just played out as naturally as real life. This is what you do so incredibly well. It is always an honor to read anything you write.
Ever Devoted- SeekingMyEdward

There are soooo many scenes that i know Dani could have written better that I cant even out them all down. I was going to list them, but F' in..they whole thing...

While reading Chapter 58, I immediately thought of this song: Coldplay - 'Warning Sign' A warning sign, I missed the good part then I realized, I started looking and the bubble burst. I started looking for excuses. Come on in, I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in, I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, That I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is, I miss you. Yeah the truth is, That I miss you so. A warning sign, You came back to haunt me and I realized you were an island and I passed you by, You were an island to discover. Come on in, I've gotta tell you what state I'm in, I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, That I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is, I miss you. Yeah the truth is, That I miss you so. And I'm tired, I should not have let you go. So I crawl back into your open arms. Yes, I crawl back into your open arms. And I crawl back into your open arms. Yes, I crawl back into your open arms... This!! With ALL my <3!! So true!! I read the lyrics cuz I've had this song on my playlist for ages but didnt know the lyrics and it's so accurate! Now i'll think of this story everytime I hear it! Thank You So much.

Oh you make me cry. GLAD that Bella is trying, learning to be on her own without the crutches she knows, trying to fix her damaged self. So want to know what she will find again talking to Edward at Alice's place. Sunday and hurt knees, and mending self.

So fucking good. My heart breaks for them. I think what I most love about this story, aside from the characters, the plot, and the entire thing, is that it moves at such a believable pace, and I find myself being very invested in the characters and their emotions. I've not felt this way about a story since WA. You're very talented. Thanks for creating such an original and well written FF. Looking forward to the next update

I was so glad she shot Garrett down, and is going to counseling. Hopefully now she really is ready to start healing with Edward instead of him just trying so hard to make her want to get better. I love how you write this story, it really is a good read. And I am really impressed with how fast you update, thanks so much

W.O.W!!!! There wasn't any smexy time, but it was still an amazing chapter, and it wasn't 15K words long, bless you!!
I can't believe Angela was a theif...I sure hope that taught Edward a lesson. He hid everything from Bella when she didn't steal, but let it all out with Angela, and became too trusting. That is why he couldn't find his checkbook last chapter...glad she's gone!
Monday...Monday, that Monday speaks volumes to me. Shouldn't she be at school...or...or has she decided to stay?! Guess I'll find out more next time!
