Was Shakespeare just a writer?

There are many debates over William Shakespeare. There are people who theorize that William Shakespeare, was not actually William Shakespeare. These people believe that William Shakespeare was a noble of high birth, who was using the name William Shakespeare to publish writing. There's also the belief that William Shakespeare was actually several different people writing under the name of William Shakespeare. Ultimately, there's no hard evidence to suggest that William Shakespeare was anyone other than William Shakespeare. So the answer is "YES, William Shakespeare was a real writer."

How did Shakespeare refer himself as a writer?

He referred to himself as a writer by writing sonnets. When he was writing plays, Shakespeare the author never appears--all the lines are delivered by actors playing a part. So a line like "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I" is not Shakespeare talking, it is the character Hamlet talking. Even Choruses and Prologues are embodied by actors who are playing that part, not the part of Shakespeare the writer. But the sonnets are another thing. When in Sonnet 50 Shakespeare writes "How heavy do I journey on the way", the word "I" is not meant to be spoken by an actor, and can only be taken as being the voice of Shakespeare the writer.
