​Best way to solicit feedback?

So I want to take writing more seriously, and ideally would write a fiction book. I have a lot of ideas and just want to write a bit of each one and send it to some people I know whose opinion I trust on writing and get some kind of feedback.

I guess I want to know how to write some kind of a sampler of some kind? How many pages is annoying to someone who could have so much else to read? Do I pick my favorite and actually try to write a whole book? Is what I want an editor? Thanks for any advice you can give
