'what' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'do screenwriters do fuss around?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'do' could be 'make' (synonyms) and 'make' is found within the answer.
'around?' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
