It’s rare to see a portrayal that comes close to capturing the realities or the essence of our strange and occasionally wretched existence.

Freelancing, which combines most of the downsides of being a staff writer or established author with added financial and emotional insecurity and even more isolation from the rest of society, is even harder to capture. Everything that surrounds putting words and ideas on the page part tends to either be glamorized, like Finding Forrester, or overwrought like Sideways. For every moment that almost gets it right - like a dead-eyed Jimmy Shive-Overly repeatedly typing the word “balls” into a Word document in You’re The Worst - there are many more Carrie Bradshaws and Rory Gilmores pluckily banging away at effortlessly-landed dream gigs. The actual process is almost too tedious to make people watch, listen to, or read about. Writing in general is a hard job to portray in a way that is both interesting and remotely accurate.

Atypical prosperity aside, she’s the best representation of our profession that I’ve ever seen. Whether she’s getting pinned by her own pinning maneuvers, awkwardly bailing on attempts at a high-risk moves, or tapping to the setup of her opponent’s finishing move, the results are a joy to watch.Īs a fellow freelancer writer, though, there’s another reason why I appreciate Lulu Pencil so much. There’s an adage misattributed to everyone from Leonardo da Vinci to Gandhi that you must learn the rules before you can break them, and Lulu Pencil’s thorough grasp of wrestling is evident in the way her matches consistently subvert wrestling logic. Pencilheads are drawn to her sharp comic timing and clear appreciation for the medium she’s working in. Lulu Pencil the character might be a lamentably poor wrestler and weakling whose ceaseless efforts are inspiring as her failures are amusing, but the performer behind her is highly skilled.

The exponential rise of Pencilmania is well-deserved. This is #pencilarmy !!! #gtmv #EVE #SHE1 /WIMcLB5J48
