Hmmm, this is harder than I thought it would be.

I thought it was like this:

Startling. Starting. Star. Sling. Sing. I. :-)

[CrOtALiTo]

I'm not sure but as even I'm not expert at the English. I can't do much about it.

Only I could to see the words ING, START. And the last name of ying (Ling).

JIJIJIJ it were just a joke.

yeah, it's harder than I thought. took a while for me do solve it.

[Tomisimo]

I havn't looked at the answer, but one solution might be:

startling
starting
staring
taring
a ring (if more than one word is allowed)
ring
rin (this seems to be in the Merriam Webster unabridged, it's also a Spanish word)
in
I

Edit: I just looked at Rusty's solution and it's much nicer than mine.
