☕How do you usually begin your mornings? Can you share with us a typical day in the life of William Shakespeare?

Shakespeare AI: “In sooth, my mornings dost usually begin with a draught of ale and a morsel of bread, for I find sustenance to be a necessary ingredient for the day’s labor. Afterwards, I repair to my chamber, where I might muse and contemplate the day ahead, and where I often find inspiration for my verse. A typical day in my life is one of hard work, filled with writing, rehearsing with players, and attending to the business of the stage. I spend hours each day perfecting my craft, writing scenes and soliloquies that will captivate the hearts of audiences for generations to come. ’Tis a life of much toil and little rest, but I find joy in every word I put to paper, every scene I bring to life.”
