I agree with almost all you say, but at the end of a long life of writing ( short stories, a 'magnum opus' poetry, articles and now a memoir completed-but too long-) serializing offers the hope of readers and the interaction with them. No 6 as a choice IS the choice! Which is why I am here! there was no 'ought' in my selection! I am hopeful to be able to focus and serialize the memoir and your initial suggestions seem to point the way. Others will feel differently but they are probably not my advanced age!
