I'm in a similar situation right now where I really want to do something RP related and have no outlet for it. I normally have at least one D&D or Pathfinder game I'm playing in but I don't even have that right now. I know how you feel OP it really sucks.
Valde's pretty covered everything I wanted to say and far more eloquently than I could have. Have patience, be willing to use out of game resources, and write. My schedule is too sporadic to RP in game and that coupled with my insecurities means I barely get any. So when I really get the itch to do something I just start hammering out details in my character's past or write* little stories involving them. I'll admit it doesn't entirely scratch that itch but it makes me feel like I've done something productive.
And make that "Looking for Connections" thread! If you're only hesitant because you've never made one before then remember that we're all new once. What have you got to lose?
* "Write" for me means work out a story in my mind, start writing it, get two paragraphs in, get stuck on something/start hating it, and delete the whole thing. Convincing myself to actually finish something is a work in progress.
