Abstract

This study aims to investigate student’s experience in writing fiction stories, especially on their perspective in the process of writing fiction stories and the challenges they faced in writing fiction stories as well as how they overcome these challenges. This study is designed with a narrative inquiry approach. Semi-structured interviews with four tenth grade students of Vocational High School in Pekalongan who have experience in writing fiction stories were conducted for data collection. This research contributed to providing an overview of students' perspectives in their experience of writing fiction, how students write fiction and the challenges students face in writing fiction and how they overcome these challenges. The results of the research show that in the process of writing fiction elements, students wrote fiction stories with the themes they are interested in. Then, in the process of writing fictional stories in English, students first wrote their stories in Bahasa Indonesia and then translated them into English. The results of the study also show that students faced challenges in writing fiction stories, namely challenges in translating stories into English, especially in choosing vocabulary. Students also face challenges in writing storylines in writing the intrinsic elements of fiction stories. To deal with these challenges students found a solution that outside assistance could help, namely the use of Google Translate to overcome the challenges of translating stories as well as the opinions and suggestions of friends to overcome the challenges of writing story elements, namely the storyline.
