Why you should always reread what you last wrote the previous day before you start writing again

I just found this saved on my computer - it's a 58-word extract from my novel which I wrote last summer. I thought I'd post it on here for your entertainment. You'll see why I removed it. :)

"He worked here, once, before he died. It will have been sold from here, made in this very workroom behind me here.” He pointed his thumb over his shoulder in the direction of the curtained archway.
                “Does he still work here?”

                “Oh.” Saffie was a little taken aback. “I’m sorry.”
