Does anyone have any suggestions on proofing ones own work? I find that it is

Read it backwards, sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph.  I've 
found that that usually helps me catch spelling and grammar errors.  
Reading it from beginning to end, I usually get caught up in the story 
and read it the way it's supposed to be instead of what it actually says.
