You could try things like this _ or you could go to your start menu and type in "character map" You will find things like this:

Descriptive words: Read, read, read, and read. Maybe find a thesaurus. You just have to build your vocabulary and you'll naturally use them.
Make it longer: SHOW us instead of tell us. Harry was embarrassed. --> Harry's gaze slid to the stone brick floor. Red warmth bubbled to the surface of his skin and he could feel deep regret solidifying thick in his throat.

Don't get so hung up on word requirements though. Often it just comes with experience. Eventually, at least for me, I had to start cutting the crap because I didn't even want to revise my damn post because it was so long. Just keep feeding the other RPer. Most RPs die because the RPers aren't giving each other enough wood to keep the fire going.

It's basically writing a novel that ONLY gives us one piece of the story. You need to be able to write before you can RP. So the same principles for writing are applied, except you've got a co-writer to interact with.

You can fill a lot of a post with thoughts. Really put yourself into your character's mind. What is their direct mental response to what the other character is doing? How do they react in relation to, or in spite of that? You can talk about the situation a tiny bit objectively in third person and then zone into the character's own perception.

Post a sample RP and I can help you more directly.

One thing I have learned is to be original; spice it up. Don't want to become to complacent. A big vocabulary helps, but don't go over the top. Just get into character. Nobody wants to roleplay the same thing over and over.

Ikr everyone who i've roleplayed with do the same fucking thing. -.-
