Composing Thoughts

I've had this dream to actually write some form of novel ever since I was young. I believe the first story I started to compose was one I called The Dog-Headed Scientist. It was a throwback to classic horror stories of past. It was really only composed of three main characters, you had the professor, and two brothers. I actually found the handwritten story, that I may type up for the fun of it. Mind that it was written when I was in second grade.  Another problem I seem to struggle with is at some point I seem to change formats from a narrative to more of a play. I for some reason have always had a soft spot for the art of how plays are written, I am probably a rare individual that loves reading plays since well I get to get into character for each and every character. I'm actually thinking though of placing together an anthology of short stories I've written over the years. IN a way though I feel I keep writing in genres that have seen better days. Be it from Mystery to Classic Horror to a combination of Horror and Mystery. In hopes to keep myself writing and touching up some short stories I plan to post some sort of progress on here.I'm always one of those people that place things on hold or I never complete anything  start. Well I'm hoping by placing a progress report here daily will inspire me to complete something. I've actually sat down and thought about it, if I wrote one page a day for 1 year I would have an average length novel. Not to say I wouldn't write more than a page in a day, but that is my goal. Starting this August 15, 2010 through August 15, 2011 my goal is that to compose at least 1 page per day in either a collection of short, but related stories, or intertwining it into a complete novel. So far my current idea is to revive the classic vampire story, however since I seem to always involve a mystery somehow in my plots it will most likely be filled with twists and turns. I'm not sure if my vision of vampires will be that popular right now the way Hollywood is making fun of them, but hopefully there is still somewhere for the classic vampire.

I would like to bid adieu for the night as I attempt to write the opening of this story. Which I feel I've been writing in my head over the weekend. Too bad they haven't made a way to hook the brain to the computer to do the typing that way. It would make this a lot quicker.
