Writer's Block

Don'tcha hate it when you have an idea but than a random stomach bug makes you not feel like doing it for four days?
Anyways, this isn't the idea I had so that's irrelevant

I'm not too pleased with he execution of this but I think the idea is a good one. This is (hopefully) for the Lit Me Baby contest. Everyone is doing these things about creativity and books and things so I decided to do one about Writer's Block. Hate it or despise it, it's something a lot of writers get.

Problem is it's hard to show a lack of creative ideas so I've got him drumming his fingers (hopefully it looks like that and not a worm) and staring at a page with one line of text written. I was gonna add a pen but it looked rubbish. The expression could be better and the shading could be better, I was trying to try something slightly new, but soon I'm gonna be without internet indefinitely so wanted to get this up now.

Suggestions for better getting the idea across welcomed

(EDITED: Darkened the paper AGAIN cos it was still nigh on invisible, I think this looks better. If you don't then oh well.)
