Unable to left align title and author name using titling package in an existing template

I am using an existing template that uses "titling". By default, the title is center aligned. I wanted to left align the title so that I may write my name in the same line. I know that there are so many questions on aligning (I am extremely new to latex), but the problem is trying them gives me one error or the other.

I just want to get it working using the existing template I have.

This is what I want to make it work on –

documentclass[12pt]{article}
% usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[margin=0.75in]{geometry}
usepackage{titling}
setlength{droptitle}{-0.75in}
pagenumbering{gobble}
title{Letter of Motivation vspace{-0.6in}}
author{Your Name}%vspace{-0.25in}
date{vspace{-0.7in}} %0.5 was default

begin{document}

maketitle
noindent
Lorem Ipsum hello world blah blah...

Now the author name and title overlap.

What I want is that the title is left aligned and after some space the author name appears (writing author name as part of title is fine too).

documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[margin=0.75in]{geometry}
usepackage{titling}

setlength{droptitle}{-0.75in}
pagenumbering{gobble}

title{Letter of Motivation}
author{Your Name}
date{}

pretitle{noindentLARGE}
posttitle{}
preauthor{hspace{3cm}large} % adjust distance between title and author to your needs (currently 3cm)
%preauthor{hfilllarge} % uncomment for left aligned title and right aligned author
postauthor{par vskip 0.2em}
predate{}
postdate{}

begin{document}

maketitle
noindent
Lorem Ipsum hello world blah blah...


end{document}
