Daily Page
A great service to help you practice your article writing on a regular basis. Every morning you will receive a certain topic on which you should write a text by the end of the day. The topics are different: sometimes they ask you to talk about something you’ve been hiding from a loved one for a long time, and sometimes they ask you to come up with a dialogue between Kanye West and a priest.
