Shhh! I'm reading...
So I know a lot of people on here are advanced or literate roleplayers. I was wondering if you guys have any tips for writing longer responses and paragraphs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is good advice, I'll keep that on note.If you want longer posts (which is not necessarily best as others have said but lets assume you do cos that's what you asked) here are my tips for what you can include:
Thoughts: What is your character thinking? Is it the same or different to how they are acting or speaking? Does the scene evoke any memories for them?
Emotions: How does your character feel? Are they open with their feelings or hiding them? Do they not even know how they feel because they are so emotionally repressed? Why do they feel that way?
Sensations: What can your character see/hear/touch/taste/smell? Is there an environment you can describe? Are they feeling pain? Itchy? Is the birdsong a pleasant background or noisy squawking?
Speech: What does your character say? Is it related to what they are thinking or feeling? Why do they choose to say what they do? Do they choose it or does it just blurt out because they have no filter? How do they speak?
Action: What is your character doing? Are they in the middle of a battle? Are they scratching their bum? Drawing in the dirt? Standing funny? Rolling their eyes? Drinking coffee? How are they doing these things? Why are they?
Also don't forget to read your partner's post thoroughly and react to whatever they do. Did they mention there is a breeze/an ice cream van/a beggar? Do they interact physically with your character? Pick up on small cues and develop them in your post.
