Writing your actions in /em is pretty much the norm, but there's no right or wrong way to distinguish/portray your characters actions and dialogue. And some general tips for someone transitioning from forum RP to in game RP:
- Type quickly and do not afk or tab out unannounced if you can help it; someone is actively awaiting your response
- Use shorter posts; in-game RP needn't be several paragraphs long like a forum RP post may be, especially if you're in a crowded area
- Feel free to type out your emotes first in Word or another program if you wish to spellcheck, or if you need to see your posts more easily for proof-reading
