Taking some advice

Steven King says that in order to become a good writer you must write all the time, even when you don't feel like it, write.
Lately, I haven't felt the need to say anything, a very calm, and actually orderly week. My mom is in San Fransisco on business, she goes to different places every other week. So until Thursday, I am home with my stepdad, our three dogs, and our lethargic blob, (we like to call it a cat). Usually, I hate this, mainly because me and my stepdad butt heads alot. This week however, has been different. It seems like I have more freedom, like they are starting to actually trust me. I guess thats why I haven't felt the need to write lately, because things are so tranquil. Which brought me to thinking, why is it when we are feeling hectic, down, or even depressed we write so much? When we feel such an extreme amount of emotion, it seems our pens start to take on a mind of their own. In the past couple of weeks, I have also been reaffirmed with God, and have actually started to pray a little bit more. The first couple of days it was about my friend, the next about a death. This week, I have maybe prayed once since Sunday night. Sad, I know, but we as humans seem to only see God, in ungodly situations. Or is that just me? When I am feeling alone, or hurt, I cry out to him, usually literally screaming. But now that life is just calming down, I forget he's there? I don't want to be like this, I don't think any of us do.
So today, I'm taking this to heart, and going to just thank god.
Thank you.
