I'm not sure about any web sites, I think there is a writers' forum somewhere on the net though.
I would suggest both Roderick Usher and Vodstok are the best ones to ask about good ways of writing.

I would read Steven King's ON WRITING
It is the most practical and most inspiring bit of "nuts and bolts" writing advice I've yet come across. But the best thing you can do is read the genres to which you aspire and pay specific atention to how the stories are constructed, the point-of-view and the use of language. And florrid writing does not equal better writing. Crisp, lean prose will is worth a million over-used adjectives.
