All Comments on 'The Turning of The Earth'

Exactly. Perfect. So swept away, can't focus long enough to think a whole sentence. Awe. Privilege to read this. Thank you.

Awe at such ability to find words that express the tortured intimacies of sex and need.

You are the most fantastic writer SWinters. Thank you for allowing us to share a corner of your soul.

Your writing ascends from strength to strength and I am amazed that you continue to move infinitessimally closer to an infinity of perfection. The gift is yours, and all you have to do is access it. How fortunate you are, to have such access to words that move your readers to experience the very soul of you. How I envy you such talent. Thank you for an exquisite story.

Oh what a fortunate few we are, those of us who have discovered the talents of SWinters.

You know how to explain the intrinsic subtlety and beauty of sub-dom relationships and the sexuality that is enacted within them, perhaps more powerfully and more clearly than any writer I've read before you. That's the trick, you see, to make your readers believe and understand that there is a delicate balance, a delicious level of trust, and the awareness that allows for such a symphony of bodies and minds. You do that perfectly within the realm of an addictive style of writing and utterly superb dialogue. Most of all by revealing your characters in all their humanity. A wonderful story crafted by an incredibly talented writer.

Yet masterfully restrained. Exquisite.

And "amazing" doesn't come close, doesn't even touch the edges, really.

See, you have a knack of finding exactly the right words, the perfect phrase. Guys like me, we can't even come close; we spend days cursing the word that just doesn't exist. But you - you make it look so easy, damn near effortless.

But it's not just word choice. Somehow what you write, the way you write it, seems to elevate the carnal to something that's almost - or exactly - spiritual, without making it any less powerfully erotic. I wish I could do what you do, but compared to what you do, what I do is Paleolithic. *grunting and scratching*

I hope you continue to write because - inadequate as the word is - you're amazing.

This exquisite loveliness merits... no, demands comment. The difficulty such a task presents is that few of us possess your mastery of language and understatement. I would certainly have to become a vastly more skilled wordsmith to conjure a review worthy of the subject. Even though you've left this venue behind, I hope you're continuing to exercise and share your gifts elsewhere.
