Why did Socrates not write anything ?

From what I understand, unlike many other Greek philosophers of his time (Plato, Aristotle, Xenophon, etc.), Socrates is not known to have put his thoughts in written form, not even lecture notes.   First question...is this correct ?  If yes, are there any ideas why not ?  One thought that comes to me is that it is possible there was a lesson Socrates was trying to teach his students concerning how the soul [mind] is released from the body after death ?

Since he didn't write anything at all, we don't know why he refused to write. One very likely answer is that he claimed a lot that he had no knowledge, so there'd be nothing for him to write. He also couldn't have ever produced lecture notes, since he didn't lecture to anyone -- he interrogated them in face-to-face conversations.
