viable paradise
Good name, eh? Viable Paradise is a well established writers workshop, to wit:
Viable Paradise is a unique one-week intensive workshop in writing and selling commercial science fiction and fantasy, taught by professional authors and acquiring editors. Now in its eighth year, Viable Paradise is a one-week residential workshop that concentrates on the art of writing fiction that people want to read.
I've never been to Viable Paradise (why does that sentence make me laugh?) but I am always tempted to order some of the stuff they sell at Cafe Press.

Writing is about a lot of things, but being kind to the characters is not one of them.
If you don’t entertain your readers they won’t stick around to hear your message.
Your readers can always tell when you're bored.
