Let's face it, as wannabe writers we all need a little help with guidance. The self-publishing world is vast and masterpieces can get lost if you just throw them out there. Trust me from experience, it will blow away with the wind.
So I thought I'd compile a short list of some of the sites I love to browse and seek guidance from when I need some motivation. It also is a great place to start to learn about opportunities out there for your writing. So without further adieu...
Top Ten Sites Wannabe Writers Should Use:
The Creative Penn
Great insight to self-publishing and being an authorpreneur

David Gaughran
Really lays into self-publishing and why it's a great option to look into.
The Book Designer
