Abstract
As one of many forms in creative writing, short stories are usually assumed to be written by people who have a certain level of high creativity and intellectual capacity. This research revealed unusual cases in which some Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong have been expressing their thoughts and imagination in the form of short stories and intended to identify and explain their creative process in writing the short stories. Using qualitative research with case study methods, this research found eight reasons and stimulus and found that writing short stories could be done by virtually anyone, including marginalized people, as long as they have enough creative drive and determination to overcome any shortcoming or challenge which may hinder their creative process. A conducive environment and supporting community are also helpful factors
