We've been discussing how to use this space in Discord, and my idea is that it is like an authors SuperWriMo blog space. We chat a lot there, but given the nature of such things, it easily gets lost in the scroll.
These author threads are so we can have a dedicated space where that doesn't happen. You can post achievements (like how 90stvfangirl has made her weekly word count in just one day by using the sprint bot!) and struggles. And then you'll be able to look back on it and see you've made progress when days aren't going so well.
I'm also hoping that it can be a sort of social space, where people can post encouragement that doesn't get lost, so authors can read that again when they are struggling.
It's a space dedicated to the journey through this month.
