Everybody is an "end-user" for something.  Once you accept that and
concentrate on learning what each user knows, does not know, needs
to know and does not need to know, things usually seem to fall into
place.  Just make sure that the prospective clients know the level of
your experience (or lack thereof) and have not been oversold on you
by your previous client and that there will be no surprises about you
being a development "novice."

RUP is not particularly intuitive, but in this case it sounds to me as if
the developers and project managers are the ones who need to know
the entire process; you as a writer will simply be one of the resources
that are to be deployed according to RUP.   Unless your client's project
managers are ineffective and you are forced to take on their roles as
well as your own to get things done, you shouldn't need to worry too
much about it.
