notebook lies open amid paper balls on a checkered surface, evoking failed writing attempts or creative struggle

An open notebook with lined pages rests on a checkered surface. Crumpled balls of paper are scattered across the surface, including some on the notebook itself. The checkered pattern is black and white, providing a contrasting background to the white paper. The scene suggests a setting for writing or note-taking, with the paper balls indicating discarded drafts or ideas.
