"Granted, long-term, major-selling stage four writers might not be to your taste. But they know what they are doing and you could learn from them if you open your mind."
People he says to read and study from: Patterson, Cussler, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, John Grisham, Joyce Carol Oates, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Lawrence Block, Edward Gorman, Barry Malzberg, John D. MacDonald, Danielle Steel, etc.

"If you are trying to move to stage four writing, study stage four writers.
Stage four writers are writers who have been producing for twenty or more years and who are bestsellers and write more than one book every few years."
Time to add people to the pile!

So from what I'm reading, I'm a stage 2 writer atm. Aware that I have a lot to learn, not sure what to do/how to do it, and when in doubt, focuses on the words themselves, heh sure sounds like me.
