In a magic world where everything goes to plan and nothing ever goes wrong, sometime in 2019.

Realistically: Hard to say. We still have major hires to make, screenplays to write and everything else to do. Things move forward until they don't. Bears attack. Krakens rise up from the sea.

The good news is I like the people I'm working with and I know all of them want to move quickly on it.

So: Hopefully soon! We'll see!

Sleep, shooting Nazis in video games, spending time with family and friends, reading, watching movies, fantasizing about inherently fair and just political systems. Not necessarily in that order.

First: Nearly every writer you know has a day job or some sort or another, so you're not alone there.

Second: Scheduling helps, it really does. Making the decision that every day at [insert time here] you're going to do a bit of writing (or every other day, or whatever fits into the schedule) both helps you plan and also gets your brain used to the idea that writing isn't just about "inspiration," it's about practice, practice, practice. Don't worry about getting a lot done daily. If you can even manage a couple of hundred words, after enough time, it stacks up.

I would not have a BrainPal in real life. Don't stick foreign objects in your brain unless you absolutely have to, is my motto.

(Also I would be worried about device security. See: The Ghost Brigades or Lock In about that.)
