["A friend just published her own book. I don't know how she does it!", "That's awesome! What is the name of the book?", "I honestly can't remember right now (don't tell her I said that), but I know she worked on it for a long time."]
That's great. I produce audio and I have an album coming out by the end of the summer! Tell her to keep it up!
A friend of mine wrote a book. I admire the dedication and knowledge she has to complete such a big project.
