This writer is forced to be moved (9)
I believe the answer is:
impressed
'be moved' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'this writer is forced' is the wordplay.
'this writer' becomes 'im' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is forced' becomes 'pressed' (I've seen this before).
'im'+'pressed'='IMPRESSED'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for impressed that I've seen before include "Greatly inspired" , "Produced admiration or respect in someone" , "Markedly affected" , "Affected favourably" , "be deeply influenced" .)
