Scoop me off to write (7)
I believe the answer is:
compose
'write' is the definition.
(I know that write can be written as compose)
'scoop me off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'scoop'+'me'='scoopme'
'scoopme' is an anagram of 'COMPOSE'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for compose that I've seen before include "What Ireland used to do" , "Produce" , "18 [GET READY]" , "Create or put together" , "Write a piece of music" .)
