What might I do to make a module that will allow me to make posts to my blog public or private with each post?

What is would do is it will allow you to choose with each post you make to set the entry private or public.
Sometimes you might want to make a post to express an opinion or idea, so you make it public. Othertimes it's a personal log entry like a personal journal that you might want to keep private permanently, and/or later make it public for people to read.

Also, when you make a post private and no one but you can see it maybe even have a box you can enter their screen name into to allow them to view it.

I think this might develop the web log portion of the CMS system a bit so that people who might want to post public things can post public things, but also feel safe in posting private things too.

Drupal doesn't have any facility for being able to choose individual users who can see a post.

The best you can do, I think, is use something like node privacy by role and allow users to select which roles have access to the post.
