Looping is a continuation of free-writing. It involves taking a sentence or idea out of a free-writing product and using that as a basis for additional free-writing. The steps are simple:

1. Select a recent (completed preferably within the last fifteen minutes) free-writing exercise.
2. Choose a sentence or idea that stands out because of originality, quality, or interest.
3. Write the sentence again below the original free-writing example, with one line between the two.
4. Re-read the sentence and free-write again from there.

As the name suggests, looping is a prewriting technique we can use in a loop.
