My girlfriend is really slow at text roleplaying. It’s been getting worse, and today we got mad at her because we went two hours in her game without any plot happening during a session where everyone was in voice call.

Do you have any advice for her on how to improve the pacing of her game?

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by text RP?

Well it's a roleplaying game where you use a keyboard instead of your mouth. We're doing a synchronous roleplay where we meet in voice chat for a few hours while we type. That way we can call for rolls and discuss ideas with our fast voices, and do character actions and dialogue with our keyboards. It's good for players who don't feel as confident roleplaying
