This is the Warrior Kid Podcast number 29, Ask Uncle Jake.

And this podcast is based on the three way of the Warrior Kid books.

The first one, Wimpy to Warrior the Navy Seal Way, the second one, Mark's Mission, and

now the third one, Where There's a Will.

These books are about young Mark, who faces a lot of problems that kids everywhere face.

Mark gets help solving those problems from his Uncle Jake, who was a Navy seal, and

who stays with Mark in the summertime.

This podcast is for kids to hear some more lessons from Uncle Jake, and also to get the

chance to ask Uncle Jake some questions.

So here are some questions for Uncle Jake.

And the first one comes from Kenna, who actually has an uncle named Jake, and has a brother

named Mark.

That's pretty interesting.

And Kenna asks, how long does it take to write a book?

So for me, it takes me about one hour to write 1,000 words.

And all of the Warrior Kid books are about 25,000 to 30,000 words along.

So it takes me about 25 to 30 hours to write them.

But when you get done writing them that first time, they are not done.

Because once you write it, then you have to go back and check it.

And I try to only write about one hour per day per book that I'm working on.

So if I'm writing two books, then I'll write two hours a day.

If I'm writing one book, I'll write one hour a day.
