In "live" roleplay, I'm pretty basic. A lot of dialogue punctuated by /em nods. and /em shrugs. a lot of the time. The important thing to remember is what you alluded to: Roleplay isn't a competition. It's a collaborative writing effort. If someone's writing long flowery paragraphs, it's because that's what they're wanting to write. If someone else sticks to just dialogue, it's not worse or lesser than someone being eloquent, it's just different.
Stage fright is a pretty natural thing. The best way to combat it, I think, is to surround yourself with folks you're comfortable being with in public. Go to the Drunken Wench with a partner, someone who knows you. Meet people in a tag-team setting.
