I focus on dialogue because I think of rp as being more like improvisational drama not a "writing hobby." I prefer to reveal thoughts and motivations via dialogue and action, versus agonizing over multiple delicately worded paragraphs of prose.
If I wanted to write I would write fanfic. And I could put in plot twists and cliffhangers and foreshadowing and all that other stuff. What I love about rp is the energy and unexpectedness that comes from playing with other people.
Honestly I'd say the biggest "problem" in role playing at dwrp is loss of that sense of play and sheer fun, which in turn stunts creativity.
