Riding Out The Kipling Effect

by Edgar Rider

Life in Carrie Kipling's apartment was a constant struggle of daily uncertainty. Kipling's life was in a state of turmoil mostly by her own doing . Her group of friends consisted of moochers, liars, prostitutes, and convicted felons. Her decision making process had deteriorated over time and became even more dangerous as she let anyone who she befriended control various aspects of her life . This was compounded by her anxieties that revolved around giving herself pesticide facials to get worms out of her face and lips. She also believed she was dying from black mold toxicity, even though it was only isolated to one small area in the room. She believed these ailments were destroying and killing her body, In this book, a narrative journey titled Riding Out The Kipling Effect, My friend and I Muller lived in Kipling's living room for a year. What started out as just a strange situation became a spiral out of control predicament where we needed to keep our senses. We both wanted to become writers for a living and were willing to give up comfort, space and belongings and even sanity to achieve our respective dreams . We jumped from our apartments and ended up on a couch and in a chair strapped ourselves along for the roller coaster ride of the Kipling Effect . Little did we realize, that navigating through this would become the biggest challenge of our lives. The Downtown artistic scene, museums and libraries also provide a backdrop of inspiration for this particular journey. The juxtaposition between the surrounding dive bars and the posh clubs and restaurants presents a peculiar atmosphere full of contrary subject matter ripe for a storytelling environment. This is a story about rearranging lifestyle priorities in order to commit to the craft of writing. Eventually, I learned that the Kipling Effect had positive ramification as well and it was the one necessary thing leading me down a necessary path towards authentic self discovery.Taking the leap into an unpredictable situation created the story of a lifetime.
