It has taken me a few days to work out the details in my mind—what, exactly, it is that I want and how to make that happen as expediently as possible—but this is what I've come to in the Grand Simplification Dog & Pony Show. Erm, that sort of defeats the purpose, but you know how I am about these things.
Presently, I am creating, coding and designing my "official" SK Waller weblog. It will contain nothing but posts about my work and related things—updates about my books, articles, and screenplays, the film project, appearances.. that sort of thing. I will also post book reviews, as well as posts about the craft of writing, my personal observances about the writing process, and life as a writer. To keep out the riff-raff, I will set the comments so that your first comment must be approved, and then you're home free. No moderation, no security, no questions. I like that. Certain email address and IPs have already been blacklisted.
This site will go back to its original name, Incurable Insomniac, and will remain as my personal weblog, containing my usual sort of posts, sans writing admonitions, author angst (well, most, anyway), and so on. Most of my existing posts about writing are currently being moved, edited, rewritten, and posted on the official blog. I'll also be taking down certain posts that are too personal, that is, those which are a bit revealing about my family, friends, and my private life. Understandable, under the circumstances.
So, in a sense, in my own convoluted fashion, I have come full circle, and it feels right. As soon as the new blog is live, I'll make a post about it. It will also be linked in the menu bar. Incurable Insomniac will NOT be linked on either the official blog or my static website, and I'll be turning off all search engine bots. The only people who will know about it are those who already know. At least, that's what I'm shooting for.
Okay? Let's get to work!

Sometimes a bit of re-invention is just what is needed. How exciting for you!
Thanks, Mellodee!
Sounds good! I can almost hear the relief in your words, Steph.
