 Like to write or want to improve your writing? It can be hard coming up with ideas, so check out Knight Writer every week. We feature creative writing prompts and story starters for fiction and non-fiction styles of writing using a story, ad, photo or other feature in the Denver Post .
 Each worksheet refers you to the appropriate page in the newspaper, asks pertinent questions and then gives a writing topic. The "Order of the Pen" at the bottom of each page offers suggestions to help you improve your writing.
Four issues are linked below, to go along with the 30 days of The Denver Post available through the eEdition.
