He sat there pen in hand waiting for the slightest lick of inspiration

He stared blankly at the white paper on the table

Just a few more minutes he thought

Maybe it was not the right time

He just sat there

Bored out of his mind

He got up stepped outside

Took a breath of fresh air and went back

He sat at the table

Still nothing

His eyes slowly closed

He fell asleep

He woke up again

Looked at the paper

Now wet with drool

He changed the paper

Still nothing

Maybe he just wasn't cut out for this

He waited

And waited

Still nothing

He got up took the paper

Tore it into tiny pieces 

And moved on with his life
