I'm terribly sorry, this is a completely random question.

Several years back, in one of the 'News' things on YWS, one of the mods promoted a livejournal (if it wasn't livejournal, it was some blog site similar to that) of a girl who gave writing tips. It was a long list of all her blogs, each blog about something different. I.E. "Developing Your Characters" "Establishing Plot" etc. Most of it was for fantasy writers.

I would be so incredibly grateful to anyone who knows the link to this journal. I had it for the longest time, but for some reason I cannot find it anywhere. I decided to give a shot in the dark and pop up here for the first time in ages to see if perhaps you guys can help me. Even telling me if/where I can find a news post that is that old would be helpful. I've scavenged the site, but the oldest things I can find are barely from a year ago.

Thank you so much for your time!

Limyaael's Fantasy Rants, perhaps? When you say "News" things, do you mean the staff picks on the front page?
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.

As for your question, even if that's not the blog you're looking for, I'd highly suggest Limyaael's rants because they are very good. I've used them a lot as a sort of logic check for my work in the past.

In the winter months, snowstorms and rainfall in the Patagonian Ice Fields can drastically affect the landscape. Worsened by heavy winds, such storms can reduce visibility and lead to glacial calving, ice collapses, and avalanches. During these conditions, travel is not advised.
