Hello all! I recently published a novella on amazon, but I keep changing its name. I changed it from "Homeless and Silent" to "When Only Luck Can Save" to "Silent and Abandoned". That's a lot of name changes, especially for someone looking to build up readership! But, while I know this is poor for marketing efforts, but I really want the name to be intriguing and represent what the reader is about to delve into.

I am very confident in my writing, I write in an unconventional style with stream-of-consciousness elements and the story itself and the characters are exactly what I want them to be, and I also think my price is very affordable. But, if my title is no good, then no one will want to read my work, and I'm stuck at square one.

Is it normal to have trouble giving my work a title? Don't y'all think the title is a very important part of gaining readership?
