This writer has to support others unwilling to accept control? (7)
I believe the answer is:
restive
'others unwilling to accept control?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'this writer has to support' is the wordplay.
'this writer has' becomes 'ive' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'support' becomes 'rest' (e.g. a shoulder rest is a support for shoulder).
'ive' after 'rest' is 'RESTIVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restive that I've seen before include "Unable to keep still" , "Resisting control, nervous or impatient" , "Uneasy, nervous" , "Impatient - jumpy" , "Fidgety, uneasy" .)
