THE MOMMY ISSUE

You would think it would be easy to bring to life a web-serial with episodes each week and a continuity that reaches back years and years. Having that in your mind, the idea of it, is really the easy part. Giving birth to the series and keeping it alive for years and years is really a challenging project that takes a lot of work and a lot of passion. What's just as hard, I think, is bringing one of these works back to life after a few years hiatus. Such is the case for EUPHORIA by Rob Hill.
