Rubbing a nail directly on a contact mic. This could be suitable layered as a foley sound to serve in place for writing with a pencil, pen, or chalk. If necessary, EQ out some top end if it's too metallic sounding or adjust for speed and pitch.

It sounds more like a stone rubbing on a concrete floor. I like it! Just what I needed. Thanks! :D
