Dear fellow authors, just a tiny piece of advice - please don't publicize your new book by saying how bad it is, how no one will ever read it, how neglected it will be, and how small your sales will be. As a reader, my reaction is, "Well, if even the author thinks it's a flop, it probably is." Don't do this to yourselves! Tell us how much you love it, how wonderful it is, how fantastic it will be to read it and how excited you and others are about it! It's not being immodest or stuck up.
