Can you write your own contract?

I apologize if this sounds silly but I honestly do not know. I imagined this was not possible without an agent but after listening to some podcasts I've heard mentions of doing this and using sample contracts. Is this true? Is it worth it? too risky? i ask because at this point I'm frustrated with having worked with many agents and having closed on no properties. I do all of the work and my agents basically wait for me to call them with my offer and property address. I think they are taking advantage of me doing all the searching or maybe I'm expecting too much. Fact is the Investor market in my area is drying up/ moving into cash offers only and I try to put out as many offers as possible but is asking my agent to draft 5-10 offers a week asking too much?

Btw these agents aren't even showing the homes, not until the contracts are accepted and if I need info such as hoa or availability I usually contact the listing agents myself to save time. Waiting on my agent has cost me a few properties as I missed deadlines.

Thanks for your help.
