Mia in Cursive

Start with the capital M: a small entry loop, then three humps that step down slightly from left to right, ending in a tail. Its tail runs straight into the i, so the pen stays down. The i is a short upstroke to the midline and a downstroke back to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the a. The a is an oval closed at the top, then a downstroke on its right side that exits at the baseline, and its exit stroke finishes the word.

When the word is finished, go back and dot the i. A common slip in Mia is adding a fourth hump to m when it follows a letter with a tail, because the entry stroke looks like a hump.
