Is an author, you say, and behaves well (4,5)

'behaves well' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'is an author you say' is the wordplay.
'is an' becomes 'does' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'author' becomes 'write' (to author something is to write it).
'you say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'write' sounds like 'right'.
'does'+'right'='DOES RIGHT'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
