Bram Stoker's "Dracula" originated from the story of the son of Vlad Tepes' ruler of a medieval Romanian state, Vlad the Second "Dracul". One of Prince Vlad Tepes' residencies was located in Transylvania, it was called Bran Castle.
So far, so good. Now work on the rest of your "diary" entries, and the other four informational entries.
Among the four entries, perhaps you can explore how and why these dark Gothic tales became so popular in the Victorian era ... how Dracula fit with the pre-Victorian novels such as Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
Also, you might touch on what was going on in England at Stoker's time, who were his contemporaries, etc?
You're doing well. Keep moving. Make sure you have all of your bases covered.
