Creative license, mainly. The novel is just filled to the brim with dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. Literally dozens of pages where the characters sit somewhere and talk to each other, in verbal warfare. To keep this interesting as an anime, the studio probably decided it'd be nice to change angles and have him play with his pen, etc, etc. I think it works pretty well.
