Are you in control of your own mind? Watch this 8 minute video for cues that you may not. This week’s video clip provides excellent fodder for a fiction piece on mind control either from the controlled or the controller. Or a non-fiction piece on mind control in our daily lives.

I love today’s clip. Actor and comedian John Cleese investigates the concept of laughter as medicine. Watch the 3.5 minute video. Pick one of the ideas and write a non-fiction piece from your point of view. For fiction, write about a man who doesn’t laugh, or a man who can’t stop laughing, or an angry woman who gets arrested for willful damage of property and the judge orders her to laughter therapy. The ideas are endless. Have a good laugh (then make someone else laugh!):

The Dead Poet’s Society is one of my favorite movies. Its full of young actors who have made names for themselves in television and on the screen. And then there’s Robin Williams who totally goes against his comical roots. Watch the clip of this “Carpe Diem” scene and pick up on a cue to write from.
Some ideas: use one of the quotes; write about an inspiring teacher; write about a group of boys (or girls) influenced by a teacher; write about a ghost of a boy haunting the school (sorry, that one came to me while listening to Robin whisper at the end).
Have fun with it. Be as serious as this film or comical as Robin Williams on the loose.
