When will Diogenes be available?

[April]

My son and I are eagerly awaiting the completion of this. Well my son just corrected me and said he was not as eager as me . Just wanting to know if you guys are still on schedule and when in the fall you think it might be available.

Also, from the previous post, did I understand correctly that there would be no logic covered in Diogenes? Wasn't quite clear on that.

Thanks

CW Diogenes will be available soon. In fact, tomorrow morning I am headed off for an 11 hour drive to meet up with Tracy to finalize it.... then there is writing up all the corrections, styling it, proofing it and then it will be out. I can't give an exact time, but we're thinking fall... if all goes well. My husband has a new job now, so I won't be moving after all, so it looks like all 4 of us are firmly planted, each in our own states.

There will be no logic in CW Dio because as we looked at the classical approach to maxims and chreiai we did not find formal logic employed at this level. Formal logic will be introduced in the next book, CW Herodotus, which is about confirmation and refutation.

WE will keep you posted on CW Dio progression

Hi Lene & Tracy,

Do you happen to have an approximate time Diogenes will be released? I'm wondering how to plan my son's writing for the fall and it would be helpful to know if I have to plan something for the next month or two months... Even an approximate, "not before Oct. 15" or probably in about ___ weeks would be helpful. I'm also waiting to order something from lulu.com and wondered if I should just go ahead and do it or wait for Diogenes.

Thanks so much.

Oh ;D GOSH!!!

...eh..... well.... it's being worked on even as we speak. I don't know what to say. IF we don't hit a snag... it is possible it could be out by Nov 1st.

Tracy is going to kill me for saying that... AND we may hit a snag!!!

SOOOO I will add... IF we hit a snag...personally, or in terms of writing the rest of it ... perhaps not till Jan 1st. It is mostly written, it is all mapped out. It is mostly laid out. Right now, we're filling in holes and doing some last minute work on some essay analysis we decided to add in from different great essay writers. It will be for jr high level and up and will feature beginning essay writing, both ancient and modern outlines.

We're progressing in CW Dio... it's about all I do when I am not homeschooling my kids, and it's coming along.

Wish I had a clearer answer for you.

Hi Lene,

Actually that is very helpful. Now I know to plan until at least November for other writing projects and not just keep hanging on "just in case" it could be out next week.

Thanks!

Good. Having a plan is half the battle. We will work as hard as we can.
