OK... it's Tuesday:

My sources say the word is: startling

remove the l, and the word becomes: starting

remove one t, and the word becomes: staring

remove the a, and the word becomes: string

remove the r, and the word becomes: sting

remove the other t, and the word becomes: sing

remove the g, and the word becomes: sin

remove the s, and the word becomes: in

remove the n, and the word becomes: I
