Ok, calling all my author friends for a second here.
In the past, I've been planning on calling my wip book/series "The Boy and the Bottles" and like, yeah, I really like the name and I'm attached to it, but lately I haven't been feeling great about the way I wrote the first two and a half chapters, so I'm planning on redoing it, but I feel like the title just doesn't fit anymore. Guys what should I do help😭

With the old style, it just felt way to dragged out and boring, and also way too casual.
Exhibit A: "Balls of goop hotter than anything anyone had ever felt were being hurled against the people's skin from the sky, burning into their skin and scalding their flesh in sizzling agony."
Like none of that sounds right to me.
I feel like the old title fit that more... unprofessional style, but that's not how I want this story to be seen. It's going to be following the same plotlines (which I've got all mapped out), but I'm going to be using a different style to write this, starting from scratch, and I need a name that will fit it better.
The OG name was just too long and chunky, but the new one needs to give a similar feeling. It needs to have some sort of glass and boy in the name.
"The boy with the bottle heart" sounds cool but its also kinds of long and cliche
"heart of glass" is even more cliche
and "When the world shattered" seems like a good option and probably the best one so far, but I'm also not sold.
Like these are the best ideas I've got guys, idk if I'm just feeling uncreative or if I've lost my spark, I just need some advice
