A ZA moment is when you are right in the middle of a situation but STILL have absolutely NO idea what's going on and usually need it explained to you. THAT'S a ZA-moment.
She: "What book are you reading?"
He: "Book?"
She: "The one in your hands".
He: "Uh-ZA! Got me; it's an auto manual"

W: Are you ready to order?
Y: Order?
W: Your meal. Have you decided?
Y: "OH! Uh, yes! Sorry! Had a ZA-Moment there."

A moment when you become really engrossed with and entranced by the transcendent music of Mumford and Sons. Basically you listen to it endlessly, even obsessively. Could also be a cult following. Usually brings on a feeling of euphoria or spirituality.

When a tragic or insightful life experience causes a writer to think "I could write about this," and subsequently "That's awful/narcissistic. Why would I think that?" It seems that the whole thought process should invalidate the experience's potential as writing fodder but can instead make for a nice modernist moment in which the author's role is explicitly recognized.
MOTHER: "Maurice died."
WRITER: "Oh, that's terrible."
WRITER'S BRAIN: (What luck! My strange and unique relationship with this person will make for a compelling chapter in my yet-to-be-written memoir!)
WRITER'S HEART: (You are a bastard.)
WRITER'S BRAIN: (I know. What a memoir moment.)
WRITER'S BALLS: (Write about it anyway.)
MOTHER: "Have you been taking your medication?"
WRITER: "Huh?"
