Whatever you do, do not think that the way you are RPing now is "bad" or disliked, it's the whole opposite really. I've had moments where someone's overzealous RP emotes (we're talking about four lines of text and up, at the standard chatlog size) made me want to leave or blacklist them, and discussing it with other friends it seems I am not the only one who is bothered by too long descriptions in /em.
Dynamic emotes and phrasing is perfectly acceptable, makes the whole conversation with other roleplayers a little more friendly too in my opinion (I hope I won't get flamed for stating it, it has happened before).
As for how to pass a writer's block, I get it every so often with all the fanfictions I write and my best advice is.. get inspired. If you find yourself unable to write it probably means the project you are on has lost its charm and it's time to move on something new. Start from scratch, take the chance to write that little something you always wanted to but never had the time do to it, and you'll find not only that your writing is back, but that spending time on it will likely also refresh the drive for your other writing projects and give you new ideas for them as well.
Though, of course, this is an advice that applies mostly for actual writing stuff that you can halt and resume at will; I'm not sure it could be applied to roleplaying writer's block (I'll admit I didn't think there could be such a thing). I do know of RP character block though, and the advice for that is generally move your character in a completely different offset or try roll an alt and see how it turns out.
In any case, cheer up. It's nothing bad!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
