About

So many people have pondered about time travel, it has become a huge part of our culture.

What would you change about history if you had the ability to travel back in time? Which historical events would you attempt to stop? Which historical events would you go back in time to help happen faster? Would changing that event, in any way, help or hurt? What positive impacts would we gain if that change took place? What positive impacts would we lose if that change took place?

What if we had the ability to look into the future and see the impact of current events/issues? Would we change the direction of a current event/issue?

We will all have different perspectives on those questions and, just as people in past generations had different perspectives during those events, we too have different perspectives on current events.

Are we thinking about the bigger picture when searching for solutions to current issues? Are we exploring the past to learn what has and hasn’t created positive change, in an attempt not to repeat those mistakes? Will future generations look back on us and wish we had better foresight, like we do now on past generations? Or will they look back on us and feel we were the people who finally got it right? Know Short Story is about looking back in time to respectfully discuss what we can learn from history and each other.

M.D. Nemi lives in Western New York, with her husband and son, where she grew up. Together, they have a dog, Bella, and three cats, Chloe, Cosmo, and Sophi. Her four-legged furry babies are, without a doubt, the best personal assistants she could have possibly dreamed of hiring.

Since the time she was a little girl, M.D. Nemi, dreamed of one day becoming a writer. After three decades of raising her son and being a homemaker, she felt the time to turn that dream into reality had arrived.

The concept for this blog started about eight years ago, when M.D. Nemi decided blogging would be the best way to creatively express herself. She just didn’t know what she wanted to write about and that naturally developed over time.

Before deciding to blog, she had already become disheartened by the nasty arguments on social media. She felt if everyone remembered we have the same goal, to create a better society for future generations, then the tone of the discussions would change.

But what could she do to help?

Did everyone forget respectful discussion of differing viewpoints is the only way to better society?

But what could she do to help?

Have people forgotten history is filled with events that teach us why remembering we all have different life experiences and cultures is so important? History teaches us that when we seek to understand how both of those things influence a person’s opinion, we’ll truly know why their opinion is different than ours. It teaches us if we can understand why someone has a different opinion, we get a clearer, fuller picture of what the issues are in society, what truly needs to change for a better future, and creates an atmosphere in society for everyone to truly have individual liberty.

But what could she do to help?

Did people forget we are all in this life together to learn from one another, share with one another, and support one another? Have people forgotten that what makes each of us unique is necessary for the greater good of all?

But what could she do to help?

M.D. Nemi decided the best way to help would be to apply her love of writing with her love of history and create a place where people can come together for respectful discussion about how best to improve society for future generations.

Her vision is for people to KNOW the history of current issues/events, to KNOW each other’s ideas on those topics, and most importantly, get to KNOW each other to better understand all the ways these issues/events are affecting us individually.

Know Short Story was how she could help.
