Aren't plenty of written songs partially improves too? I mean, I can come up with a bunch of melodies in my head at any moment. Ofcourse some will just be ones I've heard and forgotten about, but to prevent that you can just edit them and mix them with others.

Even though I can't play for ****, I sometimes also do this (but more out of boredom than actually making something). It makes for some interesting melodies.
Speaking of which, do people ever use off key notes or really bad tunings on purpose?
