Welcome, and I would not worry about the wall of text. Most of the interaction tends to be one or two sentences, though in 1:1 RP you can increase that giving each other time to write and digest and reply. The wall of text comes more from larger events or crowded areas were the chatter scrolls faster than you can read 
I started on D&D and tabletop, also LARP where speaking was the way of communicating. But you soon pick up the typing thing, or some also use a voice chat software but mainly these are OOC or to coordinate activities such as PVE.
A good reference, which you would get most of, is [The Role-Play Handbook] a great resource.
Also check out the [RP Linkskell & Free Company Lists for Balmung] for things that suit you. A Linkshell is like an in game chat channel and you can have 8, and a Free Company is like a Guild.
Fell free to come join us in [Hugs & Cakes Link Shell] where there is a nice positive bunch of RPers.
