Creation process

I remember in the gradual interview when SDR only creates things that he needs for his stories. This was regarding the history of The Land, etc. He stated that it would seriously slow down his creation process if he had to create all the back story.
I just listened to the Original Chronicles for about the twentieth time. But, this time, I paid particular attention to things that I knew appeared in later chronicles.
Also in the gradual interview I remember him saying that he was done with TCTC after the first chronicles. It was the badgering of Lester Del Rey that caused him to come up with the ideas for the second and the last.
So, here are my thoughts. In TCTC he mentions Kellen Brabanal (sp?). He mentions the Brathair (sp?). He talks about the Elohim. All these things he already had conjured in his mind. It seems inconsistent to me, his above statements about creating what is necessary, and then not having ideas for future chronicles.
