whoa there big fella! that ain't exactly how it works.
You're going to have to get a lot of folks using it, and then when it becomes more or less standard (i.e., gets into print a lot) the lexicographers may notice it and put it in a supplement and watch to see if it sticks. And, in order for all of this to transpire, people are going to have to agree that it fills a niche left open in all those "inattention" and "distraction" and "neglect" type categories that can be found in a good Thesaurus.
So, having seen a lot of coinages suggested (and having suggested a few myownself), my advice to you is: don't hold your breath.
