I saw that you posted in the mentorship thread, so if you still are in need of someone to help show you the ropes, just let me know and I'll send you a pm. 
It's pretty easy once you get used to it; the community is pretty friendly so you should feel free to either jump in or set something up with any rpers you see and like. If you're leery of flat out rping with other people you see rping, just send them a tell to make sure you're free to jump in.
As for going into detail, you sorta do a bit less then in a detailed forum post, but you don't need as much detail because there is a physical representation in front of you. Pretty much I'll describe actions and expressions I can't replicate in game, but will only mention something in text if it's especially significant but I can do it in game. . . .people don't tend to mind if you have long, multi-post posts (there is a character limit), so don't be afraid to go long as you adapt to mmo rp.
If you want to practice with someone in game, I'd be more than happy to arrange a meetup with you.
Welcome to the RPC! Happy writing.
