Once an author thinks they have written a classic, there are problems. If it doesn't sell, then someone else is to "blame". It may me the successful authors for "stealing" their readers; if it wasn't for them, surely everyone would read this new classic. Or it is the readers fault, for being too stupid to know what books to read.
Writing the best book you can and leaving whether it is a classic to history is best. To do otherwise is like the crackpot inventor who says "They laughed at Einstein, and they laugh at me, therefore I must be the next Einstein."
