Last days of November

I have finished my mongrel Mash-up. The post apocalyptic romance story at a whopping 13,000 when I was meant to be just 9,000 but since it's not for anything at the moment it's not too much of an issue. My second mash up is going to be a sci-fi noir. Crime thriller with space gangsters thanks to a friend of mine suggesting the option. The final idea is to put them all together in one book such as a collection of about ten stories this collection should eventually be published but it really depends on how it goes
Filled with self doubts about my work it is the same voice I've always had in my head and it's come back after giving in my story to NaNoWriMo. I guess I kind of hope they read it and love it but something in me is saying the same old things "It's not as good as you think. Your not as good as you think" at the moment it's just a whisper and November isn't even finished yet so there is no point in thinking I have no right to wasting people's time with my book but as always you have that voice telling you "your not good enough"
The next item on my list is back to the second book I think I have problems keeping motivated is because I have shown anyone what I've written when I was flagging with the first part of the story I had the book deal to keep me motivated people getting excited about my work kept me excited but now? I have to keep going without the help of outside influence. December is going to be power through month I took November off to get ahead of work such as other projects abd to do NaNoWriMo but with that finished and my mongrel mash up being finished for now it's back to working on the third mercenary. Maybe I can hire people to just get excited about the book an ask me questions and say stuff like "can wait to read it" the other idea is to just get my head down and work but then if I did that. I'm pretty sure I would be allowed to work as a writer
