Crossword Genius

This writer coming to outdoor loo? It's engaged! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meshed

'engaged' is the definition.
('mesh' can be a synonym of 'engage')

'this writer coming to outdoor loo?' is the wordplay.
'this writer' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'coming to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'outdoor loo?' becomes 'shed' (an outdoor toilet might be stored in a shed).
'me'+'shed'='MESHED'

'it's' acts as a link.

(Another definition for meshed that I've seen is " entangled".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
