Double n's and m's?

Here's a question for the cursive minded.

I'm just starting out trying to learn cursive writing and I just hit a wall, double n's and m's.

How do you write them without it looking like an avalanche of bows?

You know, double m's looking like a triple n for example.
 
don't over loop the lead ins, make an obvious seperation between them

The first downstroke of "n" and first and second of letter "m" should be a more pointed at the bottom.

Ahh...

I think I see my mistake.

They're not pointed enough, especially when I write a bit faster.

If I write faster the loops and curves look a lot smoother, but m's and n's suffer.

If I write slower everything starts looking jagged and uneven.

I might have to do a few pages of n's and m's to get used to their bows ;-)

Thanks for a great example!
