He wrote 38 plays over a career that spanned about 25 years. That is an average of a play and a half a year. However, he was more productive in his earlier career and less so in his later career. Even so, it might have taken him four to six months to complete a play.

Over a 23-year career he wrote 38 plays which is a little better than nine months per play. But actually in his later years he was writing one play a year or one every couple of years. In his most productive period, around 1600, he was writing four or five plays a year, about three months apart.

Nobody knows this. Nobody thought it was in the least important to record what a hick town actor was doing writing plays. We don't even know what his first play was.

He started in about 1589 and quit in about 1613, so twenty-four years give or take.

In which year Comedy of Errors published?

The Comedy of Errors was first published in the First Folio collected edition of Shakespeare's plays in 1623 (seven years after Shakespeare died). There are good reasons to believe that it was already an old play by then, and most critics assume it was written before 1595. Shakespeare wrote his plays for performance, not for publication, and few were published during his lifetime. It was only Shakespeare's younger friend Ben Jonson who popularised the idea of publishing plays, and selling them as books.

What plays did shakespeare write when he went back to Stratford?

We don't know if he wrote any of his plays there. His work as an actor kept him constantly in London, unless there was a plague, in which case he was usually on tour. He must not have had many opportunities to get back home to visit his family. Some people would refuse to take their work home with them when such an opportunity presented itself; many more would not. We do not know which kind of person Shakespeare was.
