Greetings...again. After a long time away from the blog and most writing (other than comments on student pages), I'm back and hoping to focus on developing the craft and shaping the form.

Definition: Blue Balls Blogger


An individual who continually leaves readers with a discomfort in the lower abdomen, similar to the sensation of being kicked or hit in the testicles, often produced by teasing them with unfulfilled promises, such as posting daily, or writing, like a gun that won't fire, that fails to produce significant feeling in the reader.

Sometimes, the same effect occurs with serialized posts, broken down into seemingly-never concluding segments, as with multi-part reviews of other works that span several weeks. Though this particular instant is more commonly referred to as "constipated blogging" and is most recognizable by the usage of the phrase "to be continued..."

One may say that "He suffers from BBB." or "He's a three-B." Also, "If he doesn't stop monkeying around on this blog, I'm going to get blue balls."
