Whenever I proofread, I take notes on this note app where it has everything I can use to organize it. I take notes based on character development, plot sequence, tempo, tone, grammar, directing, mood, syntax, etc. and then once I finish, I go in order from what I first noticed to the last. I do the negative/ improvements of the story, and then I do the good parts last.
And yes, I’ve definitely read my own story. I do it mainly to try to be in the viewpoint of my audience to try to see if there’s anything I need to change. I also do it to see if my story is bad? If I’d read it because I don’t wanna write a story I don’t even wanna read lol
