Be curious.....there is so much information out there and some of it is really good. Animation requires you to be curious and to be fascinated by what you do.
First link for you is the pure pearls of wisdom from Keith Lango, I can not point out how much this paper can influence and change your way of animating...READ IT really read it and try it out link once you have done reading that read some more of his stuff, then shock horror find some other stuff and read that too.
Next link for you sort of backs up what we say to you all the time (and mainly gets ignored) if you are going to animate something plan it out before hand, thumbnails and REFERENCE material. link
