Something for the writer to dip into (6)
I believe the answer is:
inkpot
'something for the writer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'dip into' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inkpot that I've seen before include "Vessel for writing fluid" , "fluid container" , "Source for old writer" , "Topper-up for old writer" , "Here perhaps blue fluid" .)
