That's not at all encouraging. It smacks of someone who doesn't have a reasonably clear idea in his head what story he wants to tell, and really what he has in head is a desire to knarble around in an intricate fantasy setting of his own devising. I can understand an author coming back to a setting years later because they've discovered a new story they want to tell (viz LeGuin). But I'm not a huge fan of Baedekers that pretend to be novels...
