Scrapbooks

I'm about to start a huge project. I have two large 3-ring binders filled with press clippings about my career, everything from profiles and programs to reviews and columns. I'm going to digitize and organize the highlights to add to my archive. No small amount of grunt work. Most of this material comes from the 1980s when I was at the height of my popularity. Since then I've gotten better but also less popular. Many writers report the same. Interesting. I used to think this was sad but it's too ordinary to be sad. It just is something that often occurs in the career of many artists. They become better and invisible simultaneously.
