Sure. Here are two writing prompts from the last two episodes of Writing Excuses
1) Write a fight scene in which the two participants know nothing about fighting. Things to pay attention to: Blocking (as in "stage direction," not "deflecting punches"), pacing, and emotional impact.
2) Write two 25-word blurbs about your most recent work, as if it were a finished novel you're shopping to editors. The first blurb is to convince an editor or agent to read the manuscript and buy it. The second is dust-jacket text to convince a reader to pick up the book and buy it.

Alternatively, write a story in which "everybody dies" is the happy ending.
Or do both. ;)
