Hi
I found Rhyme It, but I couldn't access free stuff on Writing Express. Did you pay the $19.99 to use it?

Hi Gretchen,
I didn't pay for anything, I just use the sites as is. All three are rhyming dictionaries. Just click on the titles typed under each picture and it will automatically take you to the site. In other words, click on Rhyme it, or Write Express and these links will take you to the site.
Thanks,
Deb

Creating a story is a simple as generating a flow chart such as this one: What makes Twine so great is that you only need to type text into a box and then put brackets around the word or words that you wish to have the next part of your story linked to.  Any words in brackets will automatically generate a new box on the flowchart. Watch this short video demo to see how a Twine is created: Click here to experience the Twine I created called, "What Kind of Teacher are You?"  I took the information to create my Twine from this site.  FYI, I'm not responsible for the type of teacher my Twin...
