Shakespeare didn't write stories. He wrote plays. Plays are very different from stories. Imagine if you took your favourite story and left out everything except the things that the characters say. That's what a play is like. Shakespeare was encourage to write plays because it was his job. The more plays and the better plays he wrote, the more money he made.
God knows. Millions, probably. Shakespeare has been a favourite topic of academic discussion for centuries, and when it's not academics talking about his work, it's actors talking about how to act in the plays or biographers trying to figure out Shakespeare's life, or people who just like the plays writing about what they think about them.
Shakespeare did not write about writing plays; he just wrote plays. I'm sure the phrase "Life Plots" never escaped his lips. He knew that life was like a play sometimes; it was a favourite metaphor of his. He knew that there were comedies and tragedies, because they studied that in school, but he was happy to mess with the conventions which distinguished them, as were some of his contemporaries.
shakespeare was a writer. he wrote very populary plays like romeo and Juliet and hamlet ect
William Shakespeare certainly wrote plays. Some plays we know he wrote all by himself. Some we know (like The Two Noble Kinsmen) or suspect (like Pericles and Henry VIII) he wrote in collaboration with John Fletcher. But for sure he wrote at least part of the 36 plays in the first folio plus Pericles and the Two Noble Kinsmen. Beyond that we cannot be so certain. Some people claim that Shakespeare wrote Edward III, a contemporary anonymous play. Other unattributed plays of the time have from time to time been attributed to Shakespeare. We just cannot be sure. Even shortly after Shakespeare's lifetime two plays were attributed to him in 1619 which are now not believed to be his: Sir John Oldcastle and A Yorkshire Tragedy. As for the suggestion that Shakespeare wrote no plays at all, but that his plays were really written by Oxford, Bacon, Queen Elizabeth, Doctor Who or someone else, the simple answer is that such ideas are fiction.
The plays contain songs as well as stage directions for trumpet or oboe flourishes and the like. Although Shakespeare wrote song lyrics, he did not set them to music. He was not a musician.
History
Yes, he was an actor also and a businessman, buying and managing a number of properties. Even as a writer, he is more famous for his plays than his poetry although most (but certainly not all) of his plays are in blank verse.
Rarely. Shakespeare almost never refers to himself or his life in his plays, unless you count one of his favourite metaphors: life is like a theatre and people are like actors.
We know nothing about what Shakespeare did or didn't like. He was very private about his private life.
