What if I forget to soften the cheeses?

It will still work! You'll just have to whip a little longer to get it nice and smooth. If you have time, don't skip this step because it really helps you achieve the best final product.

I don't have a food processor, can I still make this?

You can also try a stand mixer or hand mixer (with beaters). If your cheeses are really soft, you can whip by hand with a fork, however it might be hard to get the lumps completely out.

Can I leave out the hot honey?

I wouldn't recommend leaving it out. The sweetness balances out the richness of the cheese and also loosens everything up a bit. If you can't find hot honey or it's too expensive, use regular honey.
