Sometimes when people cratique your work they point out things that you
like, say, author intrusion. For example: "And that was the last time he
spent the night in that filthy little dump."
Some people say you shouldn't do that. it is author intrusion. Some folks
say it works if you do it right.
Another example, "He had no idea how much he'd regret those words in the
days to come."
It is one of those rules that really can work. I've seen it in Stephen
King's writing, in Dan Brown's writing, to name a few.
I feel it isn't a right or wrong but a matter of style. People should never
be afraid to speak up and say, well, this is my style.

I have learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
