First off, saying something is always worth doing.
Secondly, even if it is something others have said, only one person can say it with your experience and your voice. You. That makes it novel in some shape, form or fashion. Something people always seem to forget because they get so distracted by said concept of novel and unique.
You linked to the War of Art in your post, and letting the concept of novel and unique get in the way is a more insidious form of the Resistance talking. I know, because I let it stop me for a long time. Now I try to write more regularly and hone my craft so I can create something to bring my own unique self and experience to the table and try and give that to others to inspire them as well.
