Jude the Tanner?
As I write chapter 2 and try to introduce the next main character Jude, I find his current profession unappealing. I think that he needs to go in a different direction. but what career should he have?
He could be training to be a doctor or nurse, under his mother Rebecca.
Advantages
I could introduce Rebecca
This could make Rebecca less important to the end game, as Jude is also trained. However, he is not likely to the point in his training where he would be as useful as her.
He could use his medical training in the field as a field medic.
While he is out hunting, he could be searching for medical supplies \ herbs.
It would make sense that Rebecca would want to school her children in medicine.
Disadvantages
It is not a creative profession (one in which a person creates something), and would not entirely fit Jude’s initial driving motivation to stay and rebuild.

Story Idea
Lets take a closer look at the wood outside of the town of sanctuary, and see how the residence secure resources.
