I was nervous as heck when I first got onto Balmung. I had a character all thought up and ready to go but... I was afraid of RPing poorly or screwing up some other way. I spent most of my first day on the server wondering if I had gotten in over my head and jumped into something without thinking it through.
Then I got into an RP, then another, and another. As I found people that I started regularly RPing with, I feel like I've become more comfortable with doing it as a whole. I still worry about doing something dumb here and there, but I don't feel quite as anxious anymore.
Also, don't stress too much about the size of your RP posts. Large or small, you can play either way! Just write how you feel comfortable writing, and I'm sure you'll be fine. If you're RPing with someone who's going to judge you for not writing paragraphs, then you're probably better off finding someone else, after all.
... Um, hope that helps?
