To address the thing Penny always says, people are way to precious with their characters. RPs move sooo much faster if you allow the other person to take minor control of your character to move a scene along. Especially to address fairly minor points of conversation. Saying good morning and getting a good morning back is so much easier to do yourself than writing a bunch of time wasting crap to pad out the fact that you need a basic interaction to continue. Just do it and if the other person has a serious problem just say so and rewrite.
