Nope.  I don't remember the exact details, but if you distribute your
work without a copyright notice, but you didn't mean to put the work
in the public domain, you may correct the mistake by registering a
copyright before N years pass, where N is something like 3 or 5.

You can get more information at your library in any good encyclopedia
under "Copyright".
