This a little article on mannerisms and body language that I've found useful in showing not telling what my characters are feeling.

Even http://www.fanfiction.net is worth a look. It's all work based off other sources, but it's good to get a sampling of lots of different writing styles in lots of different genres (much like fictionpress). A lot of it's pretty awful - I've often felt like pointing some of the authors at some of the articles on writing that we have here! - but there's a lot of really good authors on there too.

This little gem is a series of fifteen-minute podcasts by Brandon Sanderson, Howard Tayler and Dan Wells. They're concise, practical and pretty entertaining.
