If William Shakespeare wrote his plays, as I believe he did, doubtless the effort took up much of his time and energy, perhaps accounting for his lack of activity and accomplishment in other realms.

Nothing can come from nothing.

The Stratford Shakespeare was a blank. There are only several examples of his signature after an exhaustive mining of the Elizabethian records. The writer of the plays had to have been trained in the law, as they are chock full of correct legal terms, concepts and situations. If Shakespeare had even been a lowly law clerk, his signature would be on many surviving documents. His signature barely exists.
