Process of creating Forbidden Affection

Is the story planned?
Answer: Yes and no, mostly no. I came up with the story idea while I was showering, then I came up with the first three chapters in my head. So, I wrote them in one week and published the story. So I've just been writing the chapters as I go along. However, some of the plot ideas I already have planned out in my head.
What inspired the story?
Answer: I've always wanted to visit Spain, so I decided to add that to the story. As for the love interest, I made him to be my ideal type in a man. He does have a lot of inspiration from K-dramas like Business Proposal, Mr. Plankton etc. As for the main character, I kind of based her off of myself in some ways. (Not completely)
Is the story resonated with my life/myself?
Answer: Yes, in some ways it is. I wanted to represent what it's like to grow up with immigrant parents and the many hardships that we face. I also wanted to share our Mexican culture! As for the things the characters go through, some of them resonate with my life, and others do not.
