\nWelcome
\n to this week’s Writerly Bundle! A post where I hope to inspire you with
\n three of the world’s greatest things: music, words, and tea.<\/p>\n

I just finished Cinder<\/i> (Review coming in May!<\/span>) <\/span>and since Peony was a character in the story and I have a White Peony tea, I thought the novel<\/span> a great theme for today’s post!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nSince Cinder hasn’t been made into a movie or show (yet), I had a bit of difficulty as to what piece I wanted to select for this post. I decided Two Steps from Hell was a good choice, because their music is neutral, if you will. But then there’s a mountain of TSFH music to choose one. After browsing through my ridiculous collection of their music, I found this piece. It has a fairy tale like feel with its sweeping instruments with soft synthetic sounds like the sci-fi world that Cinder lives in. This reminds me of a tender moments between Cinder and Prince Kai. This piece is good for a romantic, happy, bittersweet, or peaceful scene across a variety of genres.<\/span><\/div>\n
