This sounds typical for most good campaigns I've been in (in any system, in fact): sorting out where you are, who you are, and the backstory is a lot of the fun and gives you a good solid basis for starting the actual adventure. Not to mention huge numbers of plot-hooks!
I'd suggest not getting too up-tight about counting exactly 100 words, nor about exactly how many skills you get in your lists. Use them to describe the characters you're building, and as long as you don't have a bunch of power-gamers (they don't sound like it) everything should be fine.
