Well, I am Lay. Turning 18 on the 23rd of october (yay). Many people think only English native speakers write English on Wattpad, but I am from Holland so people who speak Dutch are capable of doing such thing too ! If you meet me one day, you expect someone who is awfully chirpy and loves to listen to someone. I ask many questions, randomly, so you have to be prepared for that. Also, I'd most likely give you a friendly hug. I always love to help everyone if I am able to do so, it doesn't matter whether it is big or small. Uhm, perhaps the fact I have a loud laugh...kinda horrible often but if I start to laugh hysterically, there is no way back for solid minutes. Oh my way of clothing. It is insanely different everyday. I do not have one style, at all. I just wear what a like. One time I am wearing high heels, a dress etc. The next you see me walking around in ripped skinny jeans, HUF snapback, backpack and sneakers.

It's quite obvious my wattpad username is based on Harry's butterfly tattoo. I love it, and him. Besides that, I started writing two years ago, but my previous books are deleted cause they were absolutely shit..not gonna lie. But yeah, I started taking writing serious in the summer of 2014. I basically joined wattpad cause I wanted to see whether I was able to write or not. So many people can sing, dance, act etc. And I always felt left out cause I did not own a talent. So one day I thought perhaps writing can be my talent..I guess it worked out?

For me, Wattpad is a beautiful site where you can meet new people and create wonderful friendships. Even so, you also gain so many new experiences it's worth it.

For me, writing is an escape. Sounds awfully cheesy, but I just feel like I vanish from the real world. Suddenly I am not on my phone or doing anything else than writing. Becoming a professional writer sounds wonderful. Will it happen? No. I am not that talented, neither made for the writing world. I think I have to be realistic, so there Is no future as a writer for me.

Like I said, writing will always be an escape and I enjoy it completely.

my stories show that women are allowed to be strong, and do not have to please every guy. I think that's very important, and with Lush I am able to write such thing. I have no idea if I'd write for a social cause, who knows. . . perchance in the near future. Lauren and Amanda are one of my greatest inspirations. Besides being one of my best friends, they always support me with whatever I do and tell me to write what I want because at the end of the day, it's my decision. Write what you love and don't let anyone make you write something what is not you.

My hobbies are; writing, reading, shopping and dancing. Besides that, I adore hanging out with friends since you can laugh so much. Next up, listening to music and lying in bed is the perfect thing to do. Just having some time for yourself is refreshing.

What I absolutely loath is people who make fun of other people. I can't stand it when people are harming innocent people who don't do anything wrong. It's sad that people want to downgrade others for their own pleasure. It's sickening.

1. My first kiss was a German soldier who was 28 and I was 16

2. People always think I am too 'innocent' but I am not.

3. I've hit a girl cause she was making fun of someone in my class.

4. Back in the days I was very active with Judo, and this guy in my class years ago, proclaimed I was bad cause I was a girl. So I agreed to his offer to judo against him. I won, easily. What a dork.

5. I had a crush on my math tutor when I was 15 (friend of my brother) he was so hot.

6. Drank way too much weeks ago and cycled back with a friend of my brother who I just randomly met on the street.

7. Awfully sarcastic

8. I always smoke too many cigarettes when I go out. However, I do not smoke on a daily basis.

9. I was in a funny mood and sniff up some icing powder with friends.

10. I eat too much chocolate if I get the chance.

The worst thing is writing a boring scene. I always feel so terrible when I don't have a wonderful idea or when I need to slow it down before the drama starts again. Also, the people who constantly brag for an update when you are way too busy in real-life. Often people don't understand the fact that we are busy.. The best thing is being able to put all your frustration, happiness etc. in stories.

What makes me an unique person is that I am not here to write and please others, I am here to write and do what makes me happy. If other people enjoy it, then that's amazing, but I will never make a decision based on what other people want me to write.

My weirdest writing habit is; going on for hours when I am on a roll. My parents often ask me if I am not tired of it yet ahah.

My weirdest reading habit: I snort strangely when I find something funny while I am reading. Very unattractive.

I read different things. I can't read horror books, cause I am such a pussy. But I enjoy everything mostly. And I read because I enjoy to be carried away in a different world where I am not in. You can see other people struggle with their life and handle their situations, even if they are fiction.

To just do what you love, but don't get carried away. Also, keep in mind that you need to make the best out of your life since you won't be here one day.

I am sure the book 'Beautiful Disaster' by Jamie McGuire could happen in real life, since it sounds like something we could witness. ITS SO GOOD.

Euhhhmmmm that's kinda a hard question. I don't have one right now. Oops.

I classify myself as someone who is trust worthy, wants to help everyone if I can, and is a great talker. I always want people to be satisfied, and I will do anything to make someone delighted if they are miserable or not feeling like it. Besides that, I am just terribly basic.

A good description; a mixture of understandable words and posh words. Not too long, and you need to be able to feel it. Otherwise reading description is hell. A cover does matter, cause if a book has a very amateur cover you don't pick it quickly. The first sentences need to grab your attention, and having a good connection with the main character also helps you to keep readers.

I vote and comment if I genuinely want to let my voice be heard. Normally I just vote, I am not much of a talker on wattpad.

ideal length for a wattpad chapter is around 3000 words. I like a cliché idea with unique elements, haha.

I read many romance novels and books with humor. I think it's essential to keep someone captivated and that's why I read these kind of books. When I read something that is mainly about people going on an adventure and there does not happen a thing, I am out. Personally, I enjoy writing romance novels instead of fantasy.

I stop if I don't feel it. The connection, the emotion, it does end for me very quickly. If you cannot get me hooked fast, I won't be around for long.

Death of one of the main characters is horrible obviously, but it's a part of life. I can't sugar-coat everything. When an author is updating very slowly, it's not because they are ungrateful but because we have a very busy life and sometimes people forget that. If someone else, one of my friends for example, can't update cause she has homework I need to respect that. The fact she even wants to write is already wonderful enough, so I won't put any pressure on anyone.

Extreme violence, is fucking pathetic. Okay using it in an action book or anything related to that, is normally. But when it comes to crushing someone I want to throw the book away.

R rated content. Aaaaaaaah, so much fun.

No I don't. Never really thought about it.

A writer is someone who manages to put his or her thoughts on paper and can make people feel things through their writing. I am someone who just writes what she wants, as long as it stays realistic.

I've fallen in love, not plenty of times. The experience wasn't THAT great for me. . . I kinda fell in love with people who were leading me on. They kept their current girlfriends a secret and told me they were crazy about me. In some way I managed to feel so much for them. But, now, I am so over them! It took a while to get there, but once you are not in love anymore that's amazing hah.

To meet loads of people, go out, do things you love and be happy as much as you can :)

True friendship, definitely. In my opinion true friendship is the best thing from those three cause with friendship comes a lot of love too!

I classify myself as someone who enjoys life to the fullest. I just want to make the best of it.

It's evident loads of crap comes your way once you become famous, but I'd like to be famous. I'd be able to travel to beautiful places and discover so much. Also, more people would recognize me for my work.

My secret dream is to be a published author and be loved for my way of writing.

No I don't, haha. I am not busy with those things. Well, I know I am a writer and have a broad imagination – I really have – but I am never thinking about fantasy themed things or anything coming close to unreal species or whatever. I keep it real mostly. At least, I think my way of thinking is based on real-life.

I don't know what I would do if I was a vampire haha. I won't drink blood, but I think that is necessary? I've got no idea.

- I would make sure to throw some spells over fuckboys hih

- Just turn into a werewolf and run around. Then I'd finally get myself to work-out.

- Oh I'd love to be in my story Anywhere cause I am travelling around with Harry. DAMN I WANNA CUDDLE WITH THAT BOY

- Change things in the past and I would love to travel to the future so that I can see what the exam questions are :D

- I'd like to spend a four hours with the boys. Because I am sure there wouldn't be another chance hah.

I do have a character based on myself, but I am sure to give her the same flaws that I have. She is not entirely like me, but most of it is the same. I just make her act like how I would act. The character is Red Winster from the Lush Trilogy + Hush Tenderly. She is a sarcastic girl, lemme tell ya that.

Oh god, it's not really the story of my life but I choose 'The Writer' by Jesse McCartney cause I love him.

for me successful means to do something you love and people enjoy the way you put your passion out in the open. I think that kinda sums it up.

What makes me insecure. It's sound weird to say, but I get insecure by my cousin. She is a few weeks younger than me, but damn that girl is absolutely gorgeous. I feel like damn trash next to her, she cannot help it that I don't feel very confident next to her. I just feel like that.

What makes me very confident is the fact I am easy to talk to. I like to chat with people so that's something I happily do. I don't mind to just start a conversation with a random person, cause I don't run out of questions that easily.

My dream date is just having a bit of a drink in the evening and walking around the town (it may be a bit chilly but not too much) and we would just talk about ourselves. Not those playful conversations but REALLY to get to know one another.

I don't have a famous tv family, because I rarely watch television.. oops.

There is no book I've read which is exactly like my life, so I am gonna pass that one. I like a Bentley Mulsanne, but I am not gonna compare myself with a car like that cause it's much more classy hah. I think my dog and I have a lot in common; awfully lazy if we get the chance to do nothing.
